For the third meeting in the MotoGP circuit Team Gresini San Carlo lands with big hopes on the Atlantic cost of the Iberian Peninsula and thrusts riders Alex de Angelis and Shinya Nakano to win for them the Grand Prix of Portugal.

The Centaur number 15 declares:"Unlike what happened at Losail, Jerez, I find Portugal dealing with a circuit where I never shot in the first riding a MotoGP, as in Estoril were not conducted tests."

"Difficult to make predictions, but we certainly expect an improvement on our last performance: we were very fast during the phase of preparation for the championship, in winter, but the results of the first two races there were certainly satisfied. At Estoril we can do very well, I am convinced the tests in Jerez after the Grand Prix of Spain were very important, because we have to verify immediately the aspects that have not worked during the weekend of race. The Bridgestone has also worked closely with the team, bringing a rubber with a new body that makes the bike more stable. At this point we need only find some 'more traction at the rear, the aspect on which we need to focus more time. "


The words of Shinya Nakano: "Estoril is another circuit that I know very well arrive after a very positive tests, such as those carried out in Jerez on Monday following the Grand Prix of Spain, makes me very confident in view of the race. Raise the first free practice with some changes to the set-up base, thanks to which should be able to lead a more aggressive. The objective clearly is to improve the placement obtained Jerez: we can succeed. "
