NIETO LEAVES HOLLAND IN THE POINTS
 Assen, Netherlands, 29 April 2007 - Fonsi Nieto (PSG-1 Kawasaki
Corse Ninja ZX-10R) did not get into a pre-race position to challenge
for podiums on raceday but he did leave with some solid points scores
after taking a pair of eighth places.
Regis Laconi (PSG-1 Kawasaki Corse Ninja ZX-10R) just missed out on a
point in race one, even though he stopped to change his front tyre, but
he recovered well in race two to take tenth, despite not finding the
set-up he wanted at one of his favourite circuits.
Nieto
was close to the front-runners for some periods on raceday but a couple
of spells of bad luck stopped him from capitalising on his good early
placings. Laconi turned around his fortunes in race two, winning a
battle with Yukio Kagayama to earn his top ten status.
Fonsi
Nieto: “Unfortunately we had to put a soft front tyre on the bike to be
able to corner properly but this eventually held us back. In race two I
didn’t make a good start but I was close to achieving a result that
would have increased the team’s morale - but an insect got into my
crash helmet and by the time it went away I had already lost three
positions. I tried to recover them but it was impossible. Anyway two
eighth places aren’t so bad.”
Regis Laconi: “Race one? I wasn’t
there! I chose a soft front tyre and after few laps I was almost
crashing in every corner. I returned to the box and I tried a harder
front, to test it for race two. I was angry but not demoralized and I
tried to improve as much as I could. Considering the problems we had
all weekend, we got some good points in race two.
