Actually bad day today at Misano circuit for the Team Triumph–SC. Nevertheless thing were running well in the first half race, with Garry McCoy in a great recovery after a quite bad start. Then the Aussie rejoined unhappy the pit lane when the top ten group was an easy goal.
Garry is a bit disappointed for the final result of this unlucky race: “In the morning warm up we found a quite good set up that solved most of yesterday troubles, so I was confident in a good result, as well to start from the back of the grid couldn’t allow us to fight for the positions of excellence. The start made things more complicated, because I got pushed wide in the first corner and that put me way back in the order, just 23th at the end of the first lap. But the bike was performing very well and I started to recover positions and positions.
About at the middle of the race I was in 12th position and I had in my sight a position in the top ten group, when suddenly something started to run wrongly. That’s a pity because the engine was pushing very hard, we recorded one of the best top speed, and I was catching the riders in front of me. Today has been actually an unlucky day, during the developing of a new bike we must wait for such bad moments, however today we made a great jump ahead.”
Also Ruggero Scambia was contesting a very good race after a difficult start that put him in the last position at the end of the first lap, recovering several positions. Unfortunately just in the last corner of the final lap his bike throw him away and the rider did hurt the asphalt violently. At the first careful control by the Clinica Mobile staff any fracture has been found, just an heavy pelvis contusion. Scambia has been for safety hospitalized for a TAC examination to avoid the presence of internal damages.
“I was actually satisfied for my race.” – said with a whisper Ruggero – “After the good practices of yesterday maybe I put too much pressure on myself, I had a bad start but quickly I had a good reaction earning positions. Today the temperature was terrible, 53°C on the track, and just a few metre to go the bike had the most classic high side and I flied away, with a terrible knock of my back on the track.”
