AUSTRIAN GRAND PRIX. DIGGIA TWENTY-FIRST AND JORGE CRASHED OUT

A very difficult Sunday for the Speed ​​Up team that closed the Austrian Grand Prix without points. After three laps from the start of the race the red flag was waving due to a bad accident involving four riders. Fortunately, no serious injuries and therefore the race could re-start. Upon returning to the garage, Diggia and Jorge were awaiting the directives for the re-start from the organization which shortly after communicated that the race laps were 13 and the grid positions were based on standings as for lap 3 of race1. Navarro thus started from p12 while Diggia was in p22. 12.55 the pit lane reopened and the Speed ​​Up team riders were ready to get back on track. Jorge made a good start and immediately recovered 3 positions. The feeling was very good and Navarro tried to increase his pace, but his comeback was cut short at turn 10 on the first lap when he crashed out because of an error. Fabio also made a good start with four positions recovered, which became six at the end of the first lap. Unfortunately, from lap 2 his race was hampered by a brake problem by finishing 21st in the Austrian Grand Prix.

FABIO DI GIANNANTONIO#21 – 21st
“I made a good start in race2 but when I started to recover more positions, I felt that something was wrong when I was using the brakes and for this reason I could only finish the race twenty-first”.

JORGE NAVARRO#9 – DNF
“After a very positive weekend, today in the race I was unable to complete the good work done in these days. I started very well in race 2, recovering some positions but in the last turn I made a mistake and crashed down on the ground. I apologize to the team for throwing away these days of hard work. The good news is that next week we will do another race again here at the Red Bull Ring and we will try to give our all”.
