Romanian Muresan outside qualification

Robert Muresan, although unable to qualify for the 125cc race, had a valuable first experience of MotoGP in Turkey.

The 15 year old rider was competing for Team Las Vegas behind the bars of an Aprilia. The first Romanian in MotoGP has already won his National Championship in 2003 and the Balkans Championship in 2004.

Only a few days ago the youngster participated in a race at Assen, where he finished fifth.
