Davide Giugliano: "Never say never"
The Italian looks forward to race day at Imola despite lack of preparation.
After missing the first four rounds of the 2015 World Superbike season, Davide Giugliano (Aruba.it Racing – Ducati Superbike Team) returned to action like nothing happened as his usual great speed allowed him to grab today’s Tissot-Superpole in Imola. The 25-year-old from Rome is obviously very happy about the achievement, even though he knows that the lack of training might play a significant role on his race performance over the course of tomorrow’s two 19-lap races. Despite not being 100% fit, Giugliano does not count himself out of contention for a top result.
“I knew that I could put in a fast lap – that’s one of my strengths” said Giugliano. “We can only be pleased with this result and I think it’s a nice reward not only for myself but also for the team, the sponsors and all my fans. Tomorrow will be more difficult; I believe that we’re in a good place as far as set-up is concerned, and we’ve already chosen the tyres, but I’m not physically fit and think I’ll struggle a bit in the races. Anyway, that said, never say never, maybe adrenalin will help me! For now I’ll celebrate the Superpole with my team, and tomorrow we’ll have to see…”
