Marco set the best time in the morning warm up but his rhythm was broken by the interruption after five laps. Marco then became embroiled in a fight in the second group with Capirossi, Nakano and Edwards, overcoming his difficulties to pick up valuable points that see him hang on to second in the championship [...]
Marco suffered a little more than expected to set the bike up to his liking at the peculiar Sachsenring circuit, where a few tenths can be paid for dearly. However, his progress today saw him make up ten places on the grid, qualifying fifth fastest after only managing the fifteenth fastest time in free practice. [...]

Marco worked at the set up of the bike. He was 14th fastest today, [...]
The straightaway is in ascent. The first braking is quite difficult because it is blind. When you start to brake you still can’t see the corner, you take on the first corner going from sixth gear to second.
The COCA-COLA KURVE is slow, not too significant for your timed lap but difficult to take on as [...]

I was [...]

BRITISH GRAND PRIX – MOTOGP FREE PRACTICE
