The seventh race of the MotoGP™ class for the 2012 season saw Speed Master’s Mattia Pasini record his best premier-class result yet on board his ART machine.

Pasini obtained his best result so far for 2012 season on board his ART machine in the GP at the Dutch TT Assen circuit. Starting from fifteenth spot on the grid, Pasini moved up a few placements in the initial phases of the race, staying with the CRT group that was ahead of him. The Italian defended his position with strength, setting a good pace and trying to keep in touch with the other riders once the tyres began to wear out.
The Italian crossed the finishing line in tenth position, third among the CRT machines, obtaining 6 points in the championship classification, where he’s currently in fifteenth position.

"After all, I am happy. We finished in tenth position and, on the whole, this was a positive weekend. We made a step forward; I stayed with the CRT group where Espargaró, De Puniet and Pirro were, even if by half of the race I had some issues. I’m satisfied with the improvements we carried out, as the data we put together is important for the next races. Now we’ll look forwards to Sachsenring, hopefully we’ll make some extra progress and we’ll keep working this way."

Group 4 reject but not ignore ....

Group 4 reject but not ignore ....

GROUP 4 might have bowed out of Tier 2 Country Championship competition but it was far from embarrassed by Friday night’s 34-18 loss to Group 3 in Forster and Group 4 officials believe they can only improve if they keep the core of talented young players together.

Group 4 secretary and selector Mick Schmiedel thought the Tim O’Brien-coached side was heading to victory at one stage of Friday night’s qualifying final at Harry Elliot Oval, Forster.

“We led 12-10 at half-time,” Schmiedel said.

“I thought we’d dominated in the period before half-time and were going well in the second half but five minutes into the second half and one of their players suffered a broken leg.

“We had to wait for about 30 minutes for an ambulance and after that Group 3 came back very strongly.

“They were motivated and scored three quick tries straight away.”

“While they dominated we struggled a bit.

“But we did play some good

football.

“They had a good side and we mixed it with them – we weren’t embarrassed.

“And we do have a young squad.

“Jake Rumsby, Jerrod See, Beau White, Trent Hilton and Matty Nean are all in the 18 to 23 age bracket.

“If we can hang onto all the good young kids plus with older players such as Brendan Hunt, Brenton Cochrane and Shaun Ferguson we will always be competitive at this level.”

He thought Narrabri backrower Rumsby was outstanding.

“He was huge for us,” he said.

“He played 70 minutes as well and when he did come off was ready to go back on five minutes later,” he said.

“Matty Nean was a smidgin behind him and Tim Coombes made some big charges.

“He and Scotty Rolls had some charges up the middle.”

Schmiedel believes Group 3 will be a major threat now in the Tier 2 Country Championship semi-finals where it joins Groups 7, 11 and 20.
