Delusion for the Team Triumph-SC in Assen

The hope of a good result today in the fourth round of World Supersport at Assen did early fly away for the Team Triumph-SC. Despite a good starting spurt Garry McCoy remained imprisoned by the group at the first corner and he is not been able to rush off because an electrical trouble in the early laps that forced him to join the pit after half race.

Ilario Dionisi grabbed his first world championship point after a fighting race to close the initial gap, when in the first ten laps he remained closed in the same group of his teammate.

Ilario Dionisi said: “I have been forced to stay in the group behind for too much time, the slower riders were closing all the door to escape. When I let the group then I earned quickly some position, but it was too late and the gap too hard. For sure the final result could be better, but we have to start from a better grid position, the Supersport  fight is too fired to make a present of such starting advantage to your rivals. The bike was good, as well not very fast, but such a bad start did ruined everything. I’m happy for the world point earned, but I was waiting something better!”

Rather disappointed Garry McCoy: “We get a new engine to be sure and in the morning warm up everything was running well. I got a good start, but at the first corner in front of us someone has done a bit confusion and we have been damaged. Then the electrical equipment started to fail and after about ten laps I must rejoin the pit.”

In the Superstock 600 race Robbie Stewart had a remarkable increase of his performance looking at the Spain’s debut, but he is not been able to join the points, lost for a few hundredths of second: “I rode all the race long fighting with more experienced riders, but the multiple crash at the first corner after the start did early put us out of the games. However I must say that I have not already the same pace of the best, I know that have to do a lot of experience.”
