2011 Season MotoGP World Championship
continues its course in Portugal this weekend
Estoril, Portugal: On the track in Estoril, where once again the weather conditions complicated the preparations for the Grand Prix of Portugal, Jules Cluzel scored a good third line, while AlexBaldolini qualified in twelfth place.
Once again the DARK DOG riders were able to emphasize their role between the main actors. In fact a very positive eighth place for Alex Baldolini who underlined with this result that he finally found the right feeling with his Suter as anticipated during the qualifying. A very short race instead for Jules Cluzel who crashed out in lap eleven when he was in sixth position trying to reach the leading group together with Iannone.
Alex Baldolini, 25
8th position
"I'm really happy with my race. Sure, it's a pity that I missed the sixth position, but after the difficulties we encountered until this weekend I have to say I'm relieved. Therefore I would like to thank the whole team because they helped me find the right way which makes me also very confident for the next races."
Jules Cluzel, 16
not classified
"I did a mistake and I'm sorry for it. Today I was not completely satisfied with the set-up of the bike but I wanted to do a top 5 result, so I tried to push to get closer to the positions of the podium, but unfortunately I crashed. It's really a shame because I could have easily finished fourth today. I'm sorry for my team, but I'll do everything to recompense them at my home race in two weeks."
