TAKA TARGETING IMPROVEMENT AT SAN MARINO GP

Takaaki Nakagami will look to push on at Misano tomorrow after working hard on his set-up on the opening day of free practice for the San Marino Grand Prix. The LCR Honda IDEMITSU rider ended up in 16^th position overall on Friday, but is confident of improvement when the MotoGP class return to the track ahead of qualifying.

The Japanese star took 15^th in another tight FP1 session, finishing only three tenths outside the top 10. He made various adjustments in FP2, improving his lap-time by almost a second in the afternoon and, despite having to settle for 16^th, is looking forward to battling for qualification exemption in FP3 tomorrow morning.
