With his confidence having received a knock at Silverstone, Michele Pirro hopes for renewed optimism heading to San Marino The forthcoming race at Misano, will see a continuation of Pirro’s substitution for Ben Spies in the Pramac squad; although the American was set to return at Indianapolis, he picked up new injuries in a highside accident. At Silverstone, Pirro raced to 12[SUP]th[/SUP] place but was frustrated to have finished one minute behind winner Jorge Lorenzo Michele Pirro "This morning I felt good with the bike, so it’s a shame that things went as they did. "I had found a good feeling but I had an unexpected fall. I had to use the second bike for the race and, with the different settings and the lost confidence following this morning’s crash, I had a slower pace again. Fortunately, from mid-race onwards, I moved up some positions and found a good rhythm. Thanks a lot to the team for preparing the bike for the race; I hope to do much better at Misano." At Silverstone, Pirro finished the 20-lap race directly behind Italian compatriot and teammate Andrea Iannone, with the latter still suffering from a shoulder injury. from MotoGP.com
