Leon Camier 2
“Eleventh is far from what we are aiming for, but at least today’s race was an improvement on the other sessions we’ve completed here in Aragon. We actually didn’t change very much in terms of the bike’s setup, just making some little adjustments with the geometry and gearing but it was a step forward. Of course, we still have a great margin for improvement and today’s race was positive also for the fact that I understood a few more things while fighting with the other guys on track. We know we must keep working hard and we’ll always give it our best”.
Ryuichi Kiyonari 23
“Today’s race was quite challenging, as I was not able to maintain a good pace or ride as I would have liked and of course I’m sorry about that. We must remain focused and continue to work closely as a team to try and achieve a better result tomorrow ”.
