Thitipong Warokorn showed his determination and courage today with a remarkable performance that saw him finish the San Marino Grand Prix in 27th place despite a crash during the race. The T
hai rider was forced to ride without a footpeg after slipping off on lap 15 but he demonstrated great character to overcome that, as well as the continued pain in his leg following a crash at Brno, to make the finish.
Thitipong Warokorn (27th) “I gritted my teeth and made it to the finish. It wasn’t easy but I did it and I have to be satisfied with that. The crash was a shame but the pain in my leg is still very bad and I am not riding comfortably on the bike.”
Fausto Gresini “Forgetting about the result today, Warokorn showed his character. It wasn’t an easy race for him because he is not very experienced but he was determined to make it to the finish and I applaud him for that.”
