SETE GIBERNAU has said that there is a chance he will race in MotoGP THIS season after all.
Speaking in an interview with Autosport yesterday, the Spaniard, who has been at the forefront of paddock gossip after successfully testing the Ducati GP8 and GP9 motorcycles for the factory, is quoted as saying: "We have been testing, and I have been enjoying it - which is my main goal right now. I wanted to enjoy racing again and riding a bike – and after that when I started to go fast I impressed myself!
"I am open to whatever, but first of all I want to have fun. But after having fun and getting competitive, I have to have my way to come back. It doesn't mean it is the correct way, but it has to be my way. And if it does happen my way then maybe I will come back.
Autosport put the question about a return this year to Gibernau, who went on to say: "There is still a chance, maybe, but you never know. Like I said, I want to enjoy every day, whatever happens is great and I am open to whatever happens.
"There are some other options, so we will just have to see what happens right now. Many things can happen and hopefully it will come right for me. Right now, it is a little bit on my side. But it is a matter of having things together, so whatever Ducati needs from me I have to be able to give them. And if what I need they can give me, then we can get together and that will be great."
So that clear it up then, thanks Sete.
