Viñales: “I’m not disappointed”

Maverick Viñales, P6: “I‘m not disappointed. We struggled a bit with the rear grip and I don‘t know why. I felt some strange sliding on the wet, completely different than on the dry, so we have to analyse it. I think we still have to work. It was the first time I went out on the Yamaha in the rain, so there is a lot of work to do on the wet set-up, but I‘m happy. In the end, I‘m the first Yamaha and Valentino is always really fast on the wet, so I‘m quite satisfied and confident. It‘s only the second row. From there I can have a good start and also contend for the victory tomorrow.” Source link

Most F1 drivers would be pleased with a runner-up finish to begin the 2017 season, but Lewis Hamilton isn’t like most F1 drivers.

David Price Not Satisfied With Results This Season, But Confidence Remains

Share this: David Price has yet to live up to expectations, and no one knows this more than the Boston Red Sox left-hander himself. Price had another subpar outing Saturday, allowing five runs on 11 hits in Boston’s eventual 11-9 loss to the Minnesota Twins at Fenway Park. The 30-year-old ace is taking full responsibility for what has been a mostly underwhelming 2016 campaign, but he’s still confident he can turn things around down the stretch. Hear what Price had to say after his outing Saturday in the “Red Sox First Pitch” video above. Thumbnail photo via Bob DeChiara/USA TODAY Sports Images More Stories Source link

Germany and Poland both satisfied with draw

Adam Nawałka, Poland coachWe were controlling things, even at the end. There were times when Germany took the initiative but we gave it to them consciously, to allow us space to hit them on the counterattack. I'm very happy with the team, in particular their discipline and tactical awareness. It all went exactly to plan. The players put a lot of heart into it.The only thing I'm not completely happy about is our failure to score but 0-0 was a fair scoreline. I'm happy the players aren't fully satisfied. It means they ask a lot of themselves and there's more to come. Now we have
