close fight

At the end of the season there are nine races left: enough to try the attack on the podium, but with difficulties that Marini does not hide. “I expect a tough second part of the season, with many competitive riders fighting for the podium – concludes Luca -. I’m ready to get the best of it, but it’s a very difficult MotoGP because many have a Factory bike or very close to it. and they are in a position to obtain great results even in independent teams: it is an excellent thing for our sport, but it makes the fight tighter. ” Marini returning from vacation, however, feels ready to gamble.
