CZECH REPUBLIC GP

RACE DAY

David de Gea - DNS
"Many problems with the bike during warm-up today and big problems with the gearbox so I was not able to start the race. I am looking forward to testing the 4 stroke tomorrow and to the next race in Portugal."

Chris Burns ­ DNF
"I am yet to finish a GP and I pulled into the garage after 9 laps today after the bike lost power lap after lap. We put in new pistons this morning so the bike would be stronger for the race, but I just got slower and slower each lap. The bike was worse then ever, unbelievably slow. All I can say is I hope for better things and I am really looking forward to Portugal."

Peter Clifford ­ Team Manager
"Unfortunately David's motorbike blew up in a big way in this mornings warm up and in the race Chris's bike suffered a mystery ailment. Unfortunately its not the best way to end our stop-gap run on the 2 strokes."
