We will never change Paolo Simoncelli and the man will never mince his words, whether to highlight the good performances of his drivers, as all team managers generally do in their press releases, but also to vigorously portray the bad ones. results when they occur, which almost no one does.
The “true speaking” of the boss, in the SIC58 Squadra Corsica we know, and this time they are Lorenzo Fellon et Riccardo rossi who pay the price in Moto3 while Kevin Zannoni reaps the benefits in MotoE…
« In a fiery Le Mans, we were welcomed by an enthusiastic public, who passionately expressed their happiness at being back on the circuits. An “old-fashioned” weekend, at least for the public, magnificent but a little disappointing for us. I'm sorry for those who think they'll read this article in a few minutes, I don't want to be boring, but I have to warn you that I dragged on today because I'm quite angry! »
« Let's start at the beginning. According to Fellon on Friday: “The bike sucks, it doesn’t work!”, words said only to justify his inappropriate behavior on the motorcycle (or his incapacity). Saturday, on the contrary, “the bike is fantastic”, leaves us perplexed. But we know that the numbers do not lie, and that by modifying the order of the additions the result does not change, because this is what the commutative property teaches us... And in fact: on Sunday he finished the race in 23rd position. Sunday he had a meaningless race, after a passable start, he was overtaken by many runners. Despite the two years spent with us, our advice and our support, I haven't seen him overtake anyone yet. »
« Rossi is a guy who has the right characteristics, he understands what changes need to be applied to the bike to improve it. This is not something that everyone can do and he knows how to do it. But he should be able to concentrate from Friday. It is certain that the lifestyle of today's teenagers, who always have a phone in their hand and whose lives are blurred by social networks, leads me to believe that he is distracted and that he does not is not always on point.
Grana and I are considering the idea of confiscating his phone for the entire weekend.
However, at the start of the first race, before the restart, he suffered an ordinary fall due to the rain. He was conditioned by this slide for the next 14 laps. This can't happen to a world championship driver, he has to come back into the game stronger than before, he can't throttle back and be careful. One slip cannot determine the whole day. »
« MotoE started quietly, amid general skepticism, including mine, even if I had to change my mind. While in the first year MotoE was a competition for riders at the end of their careers, it is now a category where we find many young riders with the desire to do well. This results in exciting and intense races. This is the new launch pad for Moto2. I am happy for Casadei, who is the driver for whom I returned to racing with the SIC58 team. We have shared joys and sorrows, adventures and misadventures and now I am happy to see him win, even if it is to our detriment.
Zannoni is our protégé and a welcome gift from Cecchinello, to whom I also recommended it last year. He tried to defeat Mattia in a hasty manner and he fell, but that doesn't bother me. If a driver doesn't try to win on the last lap, then when should he try?
In race 2, he missed the podium by just a fraction, in the last corner by 6 thousandths, the equivalent of 5 cm, in a sprint with Canepa. I really like it, it's the best replacement I could find for Casadei. »
« And now we come to Mugello, the Italian Grand Prix, in which we have a positive resume, made of fast laps and pole positions. We hope to do well and it is time for our drivers to start believing in it too. »
