Fiorenzo Caponera (Team Principal) "With two beginners in our team, our main targetis to help them to learn the bike and how to set it up. We have to get data, organisethem, and use them to teach the guys what to do. This is the World Championship, andanybody coming from national or minor series wants time to adapt himself to the mostcompetitive category in the world. Both riders did well, and are progressing".
