WorldSBK Misano: Feet on the ground for Carrasco after SSP300 win

Former WorldSSP300 champion Ana Carrasco is keeping her feet firmly on the ground after yesterday's win at Misano and is not looking at a second title just yet.

The Spanish Kawasaki rider took advantage of a last-corner crash from Britain's Tom Booth-Amos to pick up her first win of the season as she continues her return from serious injury.

“I’m so happy today because the road to here after the injury was really long. A lot of months without racing. And for sure the comeback is always difficult. I cannot be happier with this result," said Carrasco.

"The main goal of this season was to be competitive, to be back on the podium… And for sure to win in Misano is really important for me also to achieve it in the fourth race is quite good because we can start thinking about the Championship. I’m really happy. And I just want to say thanks to the team, to everybody in the team, to Kawasaki, to my sponsor, to my family because they support me always.”

“The title for sure is not my main goal because we still have 12 races so it’s a lot. I have to think race by race. For sure I’m getting better but I’m not in my best shape, so we have to keep working to keep improving every race. Try to be more competitive on Fridays also in Superpole, it’s the next step to do. And yeah, try to win races and at the end of the season we’ll see where we are. But for sure the main goal is to try to win races.”
