(2005 FIM Superbike World Championship)
Scuderia SC Caracchi-NCR
FRONT ROW FOR LANZI AFTER THE FIRST PRACTICE DAY ON MAGNY COURS.
GOOD RESULT FOR NANNELLI

(Magny Cours 2005, October 7)

Good results after the first practice day on Magny Cours, final round of 2005
WSBK Championship, for the riders of Scuderia SC Caracchi. Lorenzo Lanzi
recorded, with the fourth fastest, a position on the provisional front row,
after set the fastest until a tenth of minutes to the end of the session. Quite
good also the practices of Gianluca Nannelli in Supersport, where the Imola's
winner recorded the sixth fastest.

"I believe we've done a very good work in this first day." -  said after the
practices Lorenzo Lanzi. "Tosay, al quite always on Friday's sessions, we didn't
use soft tyres and we worked a lot on the newrace tyres developed by Pirelli. I
believe we've found a good selection for the race and with the selected tyres I
made several laps with a very good race pace. Despite that I've been able in a
lap time very close to the best lap ever recorded in the past in Magny Cours, by
Neil Hodgson in 2003 season with Michelin tyres. I'm looking for a good race in
this final round, also to forget the Imola's disappointment, when the flood
didn't allow me to run a good race."

A bit let satisfied is on the contrary Gianluca Nannelli in Supersport, despite
the good result set today with the sixth fastest in the provisional ranking.

"Unlike Imola on this track I never had a good feeling, often due the
misfortune." - related after the practices Gianluca. "In the first two splits
I'm very fast, very close to the leaders. On the contrary in the last one I'm
quite slow, most in the fast changing of direction when the bike is quite hard
to ride. Tomorrow we'll have to work on this problem which doesn't allow me to
have a constant pace. My shoulder is now good, on the contrary I have some pain
in the foot, but the Clinica Mobile doctors are always with me."
