It seemed already involato towards victory, Marco Simoncelli Past
ahead of the penultimate lap great and the first two curves from the
end before the Spanish trio Debon-Bautista-Barbera, battling among
themselves, the Gilera Romagna is, however fact is put by Debon that
Bautista a few meters from the finish.

"I have taken away like a thrush… - he joked in park closed
Simoncelli - I am sorry, it was a really nice race, pulled, I was the
limit. I was able to do the right tactics, passing on his head midway
through the penultimate lap and I to succeed, but in the end I thought
maybe they were further away. Debon did a great detached, I tried to
resist but I went off on the dirt and I was also stuck Bautista. Too
bad, I earned more points on Kallio, but so after losing a race of this
kind leaves bitter taste in the mouth. "

Thanks to third place - his seventh consecutive podium -
"SuperPippo" in fact earns another five points in the championship over
Mika Kallio, today the fifth, bringing the margin in the standings on

Spain, in short, thank, especially Alex Debon going to bissare the
success of last May in Le Mans. "Today I used my experience - said the
former Aprilia tester, now third in league with one point lead over
Bautista - I knew that today was Marco fast, but in the end I had a
last lap very beautiful. This for me is a very important result, it's
nice to go back to victory after the summer holidays and after the
difficulties had in the last few races. "

Even Bautista has stuck in extremis Simoncelli closing behind
Debon. The pilot was Aspar author of a nice comeback in the early laps
following a departure unhappy. "It 'been difficult to reach the group
head, but I did - said Alvaro - Unfortunately, two laps from the end I
touched with Debon and I lost much time, but the last lap I managed to
grasp the second position. I'm happy, but I think that I could fight
for victory. "

The comments of the protagonists

Simoncelli: "Everything perfect, until the last curve…"

"It 'been a very good race: I was not much in place with the bike,
especially in the second half of the race when the tires fell. I was on
the edge, hung, and in fact I had a lot of mistakes, but I wanted to
try anyway. I think I have done everything so perfect until the last
curve, but then at that point I thought that others were more distant,
and so the last curve rather than hinder the limit I risked less. Debon
has slowed strong, I tried to resist but I left off dirt on the track
there did not have its grip, because of rain yesterday, and so I
exceeded even Bautista. I am happy, I took another 5 points to Kallio
although obviously I am sorry: I hoped to win. "

Now the points are Kallio 16, with six races remaining…

"Yes, and the most important thing is that I showed that I had it
takes to win here in Brno, a circuit where in the past had always done
fatigue."

With what spirit vai at Misano, your home race?

"Now I run a little 'balls… But perhaps this will help me to give
me the post in view of the Grand Prix at home. I think that from my
house we will go on foot, so I'm already hot when it's time to get on
track. The circuit I am not crazy, but I will do me pleasure for
strength. "

Soon we must also think about what to do next season, is not it?

"I think that we Misano with certainty what I will do. We talked
with Ducati (for the team satellite, editor's note) and also with
Gilera to continue in 250. The two alternatives are these. "
