  • Summary: MUGELLO, ITALY (RECENT) (CHARLES STEWART VNR - ACCESS ALL) 1. SCENICS OF CIRCUIT (DORNA MATERIAL -- ACCESS ALL) 2. VARIOUS RIDERS RELAXING AT CIRCUIT (CHARLES STEWART VNR -- ACCESS ALL) 3. MAX BIAGGI ON CIRCUIT 4. SOUNDBITE (ITALIAN) BIAGGI: "The Italian Grand Prix is always something special for us Italians. I've won so many times here at Mugello [in other classes] and I've gone fast on the 500 for a lot of times. What is missing is a victory here in the 500s and I hope to get this opportunity this year. The track design is the most beautiful in my opinion and with the support of the local crowd I hope to have a great race to please the all the fans who will be here." 5. CARLOS CHECA IN GARAGE 6. MECHANICS ON CHECA'S BIKE 7. CHECA ON CIRCUIT 8. SOUNDBITE (SPANISH) CHECA: "This is a circuit where we have worked a lot on, full of uphills, downhills and very fast corners which demand a lot of speed... So this is a circuit where if the motorbike is not perfectly tuned you cannot respond to the speed demanded on the curves. And is also a pleasure to race here in Italy in this circuit that I like a lot, so let's hope we can achieve our best result here." (DORNA MATERIAL -- ACCESS ALL) 9. WIDE OF PRESS CONFERENCE 10. SOUNDBITE (ENGLISH) LORIS CAPIROSSI: "This weekend is difficult for me because this is one of my favourite tracks but I'm working very hard to improve my bike, it's difficult to go faster on this track. But I want to finish in teh top three, it's very important for me amd for the sponsor, I think, it's possible." 11. SOUNDBITE (ENGLISH) VALENTINO ROSSI: "The home Grand Prix is very different outside the track, it's very busy, very much to do, but on the track it's exactly the same as any other race. We try to make a good race and work very well on the Friday and Saturday and have a good race." 12. TRADITIONAL FLAG BEARERS Initials Script is copyright Reuters Limited. All rights reserved
