Livio Loi building up speed at Misano

In the last few Grand Prix weekends Livio Loi tended to be on top at the beginning of a training practice to end up much lower. At the Misano World Circuit RW Racing GP’s Belgian rider was able to turn it around and build up his pace to improve towards the end of the session.

In the first practice Loi ended in fourteenth and that was his starting point in the second practice, slowly building up lap by lap to finish in seventh by the time the chequered flag was waved. With 4 minutes to go he even was in fourth, but Loi couldn’t stick to that position although he improved his lap time.

Livio Loi - 7 (1.43,464)

“In the last few weekends I couldn’t finish it, but this time I could. I found my rhythm quickly this morning and was able to run 44’s. The bike was good from the start. We didn’t have to change much to improve and even had the time to start working on the tyres. We could concentrate on details and that paid off quite well. You need a bit of luck in finding a position on the track to set a fast lap time, but when you have your hands and your mind free in terms of a good setup, it is easier. I believe we have found a solid base to build on for this weekend and hopefully we can keep this up also in qualifying tomorrow.”
