After crashing his #1 and #2 bikes in the Saturday stunt show, P. O'Moto used his girlfriend's bone-stock '59 Lambreta TV175 to hold off all but two of his bitter rivals in the fight for pole position at this weekend's MotoGP San Marino Grand Prix at Misano.
"I'd yanked this horn mono up the front straight when one of Adriana's heels got caught in the rear brake rotor," said O'Moto, pausing for a sip of Red Bull Moto, the energy drink released this week to much fanfare. "When she did it again, I told her she couldn't ride with me anymore. Thankfully, she let me borrow her scooter for qualifying while she was getting checked out at the Clinica Mobile."
P would have had pole had he not suffered an uncharacteristic wobble coming out of Tramonto, the hairpin leading onto the back straight. "I got on it a little early," he said. "I like to get the wheel spinning right there, but when the threads are showing like they have been for the last few months, you really have to just let it do what's it's gonna do."
The long-shuttered Lambretta factory has quickly re-opened and is scrambing to fill orders from various unnamed MotoGP teams.
Ms. Lima is recovering from heel replacement surgery.
