Ducati 車隊老闆 Livio Suppo 認為澳洲站的結果,證明他們 2007 賽季的
成功並不是完全歸功於輪胎優勢。
Ducati team boss Livio Suppo believes the Australian Grand Prix results
proved that their 2007 success was not just down to a tyre advantage.
該隊車手 Stoner 和 Capirossi 在澳洲站包辦一二名,而衛星車隊 Pramac
D'Antin 車手 Barros 衝上第五名。
Works riders Casey Stoner and Loris Capirossi finished first and second
at Phillip Island, with Alex Barros' Pramac D'Antin Ducati taking fifth.
除了 Stoner 已經拿下車手的王座外,那些結果替 Ducati 奪得了車隊和車廠
的冠軍。
Those results clinched the teams' and manufacturers' titles for Ducati, in
addition to the drivers' crown already claimed by Stoner.
Suppo 敏銳的指出其他的 Bridgestone 車手努力的想擠上前六名,Kawasaki
的 de Puniet 以第七名完賽,在 Suzuki 和 Gresini Honda 的Marco Melandri
之前。
Suppo was keen to point out that the other Bridgestone runners had
struggled to get near the top six, with Randy de Puniet finishing a distant
seventh for Kawasaki, ahead of the Suzukis and Marco Melandri's Gresini
Honda.
"今天排除 Ducati 車手後,成績跑最好的 Bridgestone 車手(指 de Puniet )落後
Michelin 成績最好的(第三名 Rossi) 17 秒," Suppo 告訴 autosport.com。
"The first Bridgestone today without a Ducati was 17 seconds behind the
first Michelin (third-placed Valentino Rossi)," Suppo told autosport.com.
"並不完全歸因於輪胎,一些在於車手身上,一些在於整個組合上,而賽車是
整個組合的一個大部份。
從那開始以後,(我們的)賽車已經是相當好的。"
"It's not all tyres, it's a lot on the riders, a lot on the package, and the
bike is a big part of the package. Since the beginning the bike has been
pretty good.
"所以,我認為我們應該贏得這場冠軍賽,我們做一件很棒的工作。"
"So I think we deserve this championship, we have done a great job."
他附帶一提,他難以置信 Ducati 已經在今年賽季成功。
He added that he was finding it hard to come to terms with the success
Ducati have had in 2007.
"我們在想,今年,命運之神是站在我們這一邊的,因為這就像一場電影一樣,"
Suppo 說。
"We were thinking the stars must also be helping us this year, because
it's like a movie," Suppo said.
"我們應該來拍一場關於這的電影。
因為我們在日本嬴得了車手冠軍, Loris 贏了那場比賽,那是很特別的。
而我們來到了這裡,嬴得了車廠冠軍,包辦一二名, Barros 也拿到第五。
這是令人難以置信的事。"
"We should have a movie about it. Because we won the riders'
championship in Japan and Loris won the race - that was special.
We came here, won the factory championship with a one-two and
Barros fifth. It's something unbelievable."
Ducati 在參加 MotoGP 五年後,摘下他們第一個 MotoGP 冠軍,但是,
Suppo 說他們從未設定一個時間表,來達成這樣的成就。
Ducati took their first MotoGP title five years after joining the series,
but Suppo said they had never set a timescale for achieving major
success.
"老實說,從沒去想過它, " 他說。
"你不能夠去計劃如何,你僅是必須非常努力地展現出你的最好表現。
如果,進入正確的方向,你將會獲勝,就像今年和 Casey 創造驚人的成績,
以及輪胎在各場比賽都運作地很好。
"Honestly, you never think about it," he said. "You cannot plan, you just
have to work hard to be the best you can. (You win) if something goes in
the right direction, like this year with Casey being unbelievable and the
tyre working well everywhere."
