Michel🎃e Pirro hasn't given up on ending the 2012 MotoGP World Ch𝔉ampionship with a CRT victory for the Gresini Honda team.

P🌱irro, 12th in the wet𝓡 at Sepang in Malaysia last weekend, is currently in 15th position in the standings ahead of this weekend's penultimate round at Phillip Island in Australia and the final race at Valencia next month.

The Italian rider improved his dry set-up at Sepang before the inclement weathe🔯r struck and hopes to build on that p♑rogress this weekend.

Pirro has yet to finish a race this season as the top CRT rider on his FTR, but he🅰🦄 isn't about to throw in the towel with two bites at the cherry still remaining.

"I was very happy with the result Sepang, especially becaus🐲e I waᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚs hoping for a dry race after the pace we showed in warm-up," he said.

"That was a shame but hopefully we get good conditions at P✤hillip Island this weekend, even though the temperaꦆtures will be chilly.

"I really l🅘ike this track and if we get the same feel from the bike that we had on Sunday morni🗹ng in Malaysia then I could have a good race," added Pirro, who was 14th fastest in warm-up at Sepang, narrowly behind Aleix Espargaro and ahead of Randy de Puniet.

"There are two races left and I would really like to✨ take a CRT win, that would make me really proud.💜"
