Round 2 Welkom,South Africa For the first few laps, Capirossi’s Ducati was in front of me, and it was spraying water all around. I was expecting he would stop, but he continued, so I left a little gap behind him. If something happened to his bike, then I could also have crashed out. Then Andrew Pitt got between us, and it became his problem, not mine. After Capirossi went off I was behind Nakano. Everything was going well ? the tyre stayed quite high-performance, and the bike was running okay. I just couldn’t pass him. I had to wait until he made a mistake … but he didn’t. But I am really happy that I rode 100 percent to the end.
