After qualifying on the eighth row of the grid at Brno Davide Giugliano (Lightspeed Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R) expected to struggle hard to get into the points, and his 20th placing on raceday confirmed his pre-race expectations. In the race itself his lack of a good set-up on his machine and a sliding rear made things difficult from the outset, but he improved 10 places on his qualifying place of 30th on the grid.
Davide Giugliano:
“The race was very difficult for the set-up and in the end of the race I could not push with the other riders, mainly because of the rear end grip. It was very dangerous situation at times but even though I knew I was going to finish outside the points I finished the race to say thanks for all the hard work the team and mechanics put in to help me.”
