Jack&Jones by Antonio Banderas >> "We Missed the Set-Up Today”

June 11 2010

After struggling to find grip over the two days of practice, Kenny Noyes and the Jack&Jones by Antonio Banderas team found some improvement in the Sunday morning warm-up and decided to take a chance with some more changes for the race.

Unfortunately the last-minute changes didn't improve things and, in fact, after only three laps Kenny was encountering wheel spin on corner exits making it impossible to return to the steady pace of 1´57s that he had run in the warm-up. From then on it was just a matter of hanging on and fighting slides. He started 33rd and eventually came home 26th.

Now the team is looking forward to a fresh start at Silverstone, a new track for almost all Moto2 riders and a classic venue that returns to the G.P. Schedule for the first time since 1986.

26º fast lap: 1'57.898

“It was a tough and complicated weekend. We started out about like in Le Mans, looking for a set-up on a completely new track. We were improving session by session but after the warm-up this morning we decided to take a chance on some big changes and we missed the set-up. If we had had a better grid position and pace we would have been a lot more conservative, but we were so far back that it seemed better to take a chance.

On lap three I had no grip out of the corners and from then on my only objective was to finish without crashing. We were at a big disadvantage at Mugello because it is a very technical track and we had really no references. Now we go on to Silverstone which will be a new track for everyone. We’ll start from zero, but so will everyone else.”
