NAVARRO IN TOP TEN AND TWENTIETH PLACE FOR MONTELLA IN HIS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP DEBUT

The first and long-awaited appointment of the 2021 Moto2 World Championship has just ended at the Losail International circuit. SpeedUp riders finished the twenty laps of the Qatar Grand Prix race in tenth and twentieth position. Different conditions those faced in today’s race by Navarro and Montella, characterized by wind and lower temperatures than the other days. After a good start, Jorge tried not to lose positions and until the thirteenth lap he maintained a constant pace in eighth position. He then tried to better manage the lack of grip but to hinder the team 9 rider was a pain in his right arm that prevented him from attacking by crossing the line in tenth position. Positive performance by Yari Montella who, after a complicated start to the race, managed to significantly improve the feeling with the Boscoscuro bike by increasing the pace. The Italian rider ended his first race of the world championship in twentieth place.

JORGE NAVARRO#9 - 10th
“First race ended and the truth is that it wasn’t easy at all. From the middle of the race onwards I had grip problems, but above all a pain in my right arm that really hindered me a lot. We have to look at the positive side of this first weekend that started really uphill in which my team and I managed the problems well and finished in top ten. We will analyze the race by identifying the points to improve in order to be ready next week, again here at the Losail circuit”.

YARI MONTELLA#5 - 20th
“Positive impressions, I’m quite happy with my first race. We didn’t start well, I made some driving mistakes, but towards the end I started to change and push where I needed to push and it went better, we rode with better times that are satisfying us for now. I’m happy even though we’re still far from good positions, but I’m confident for the next one because I know we’ll start from this base and therefore we can only improve”.
