First Practice Day at Brno Circuit

First Practice Day at Brno Circuit


Press Release Issued By Scuderia Triumph-SC (Brno – Czech Republic 2008, July 18)

The demanding Brno Circuit, with his up and down profile, hosted today the first practice day of World Supersport, arrived at his eight round. After a free practice morning session, all focused to run the new engines, Garry McCoy secured the 10th fastest in the first qualifying session during the afternoon.

The Australian rider did comment: “Today it has been a little bit unfortunate because I feel that we could have been in a better position than 10th, but to be only the first day I guess is not bad. In the morning free practice and the afternoon first qualifying we had some engine problems but I manage to get six laps in my second bike and it feel quite good, also because the weather broadcasting for tomorrow says rain shower possibility and it would be good secure as soon as possible the result.

We still need to play a bit with the set up to improve the position tomorrow, and hopefully we don’t get any more problems during the weekend, I love this track, here I always made very good performances and I would like to give a very good result to the team for his great commitment.”

Less positive Ruggero Scambia, at his debut on the Bohemian track after the bad crash in Misano: “I’m a bit back in the grid, but I’m improving constantly on this track which is rather demanding, most for me at the debut on this circuit. The approach with the track after the Misano’s bad crash has been good, as well I’ve been not very fast I’m quite confident. The practice session of tomorrow could allow me to look for a good improvement.”

New track for Robbie Stewart in 600 Superstock too, with the young Scot 34th in qualifying: “The bike runs well, but this track is quite hard; anyway I’m improving always my performance, but maybe I would need a longer practising time.”
