MotoGP: Playstation woes halt Canepa progress
Proof that even MotoGP riders use game consoles to learn tracks too
SOMEONE NEEDS to tell Pramac Ducati youngblood Niccolo Canepa that they have PlayStation consoles in Japan. The lad seems to be stuck in the run-up to this weekend's MotoGP round at Motegi in Japan, claiming that he can't learn the track before he rides it for the first time tomorrow because his PlayStation won't work.
The Italian flyer said: "The Japanese weekend hasn’t started too well; I brought my Playstation to learn the Motegi circuit on the MotoGP game, but unluckily my system is different compared to here and I am not able to play. Therefore I will have to learn all the secrets of the track on Friday afternoon and Saturday morning's free sessions.
”It’s a pity. Anyway, from what I have seen on television it doesn't seem like a technical circuit and this can help a new rider like me. To start from zero is never easy but I will try to do much better compared to my debut in Qatar, where I didn't perform too well."
Right, go take some of your cash, trot down any bloody street in Japan and go and buy a PS3 if it's that important. If it's not we'll expect far better from you than the seventeenth place finish you managed in Qatar.
