"I have won in Germany for the past two years in 250 and I always seem to get the best out of myself there so I hope I can have another good race and finish it🌜 with the result that eluded me in Barcelona."
Simoncelli starts the weekend tenth in the championship but still the second-bets rookie behind Tech 3 Yamaha's Ben S𒁏pies, who is two places and 20 poin𝓡ts ahead.
