Gibernau en voie de guérison -
16/04/2005, 00h58
Le pilote Espagnol s'est senti beaucoup mieux après cette première journée au Portugal.
Malgré quelques douleurs qui le poussennt à forcer sur le bras droit, le pilote est optimiste pour le GP de dimanche.
Sete Gibernau’s shoulder responded better than expected in the first day of free practice for the Portuguese Grand Prix today, with the Spaniard lapping second fastest behind Honda colleague Alex Barros. Gibernau took the morning session calmly, with weather conditions making it dangerous to take any unnecessary risks. Ultrasound and ice treatment have helped to reduce the swelling of his left shoulder tendon and, even though he finished the day feeling more tired than usual as he was forced to put more effort into his right arm, he is already feeling more optimistic than when he arrived at Estoril.
Rain showers ruined the morning session and Marco Melandri ran out of time to push for a fast lap as he got to grips with the Portuguese circuit on his first visit here with the Honda. The Italian is confident of improving his feeling and his lap times tomorrow.
