WSS'09 Round 11 | Nürburgring, race day

Tuesday, 15 September 2009

Round 11 of World Supersport closes with a result under expectations for team ParkinGO Triumph BE1 Racing as Garry McCoy finished eighth while Gianluca Nannelli had to retire from the race due to a crash after five laps. At the start, the Australian rider lost thirteen places due to clutch release issues. However, he did not give up and recovered several positions finishing eighth, only four seconds behind Massimo Roccoli who took fourth place, although he had a hard time trying to overtake his slower opponents. On the other hand, a crash put a stop to Gianluca Nannelli's race who was battling to recover positions.   GARRY McCOY |  Triumph Daytona 675 | 8th: "I'm not happy at all with the result. Unfortunately, my race was already compromised from lap one. After the problem I had at the start, another rider just bumped into me at the first corner. I went wide and lost a lot of positions. I started to climb back again but on this kind of track you lose a lot of time trying to overtake the others. It's really a pity because I was hoping for a better result".   GIANLUCA NANNELLI |  Triumph Daytona 675 | retired: "I'm really sorry for the crash because we had a good a setup and I thought I could score a great result. Now we'll gather all the data and see why I crashed today".     Race Standings:   1 35 Crutchlow C. (GBR) Yamaha YZF R6 37'56.481 (154,348 kph) 2 50 Laverty E.
