PORTUGAL GRAND PRIX: DIFFICULT SUNDAY FOR NAVARRO AND MONTELLA

A weekend that did not give many smiles to the SpeedUp team that leaves the Autódromo Internacional do Algarve empty-handed. Jorge Navarro ended his race on the second lap when at the entrance of turn five he lost stability on the front crashing. Yari’s race ended at the end of the fourth lap with a bad crash where fortunately he remained unharmed. The SpeedUp team will be back on track at the Jerez de la Frontera circuit for the fourth round of the season, the Spanish Grand Prix 30/1/2 May.

JORGE NAVARRO#9 - DNF
“We already knew it would be a complicated day but we could straighten out a black weekend. This morning in the warm up I felt quite comfortable with the bike. I got off to a good start, I was advancing, and at one point as I entered turn five I lost the front and fell to the ground. I then decided to get back on track because we had made some changes to the bike for the race and I therefore wanted to collect as much data as possible”.

YARI MONTELLA#5 - DNF
“I am very sorry for today’s crash because we could have finished a good race by going to get the first points. Overall it was a positive weekend, apart from the crash, because we are growing race after race and we can see the progress. Now let’s think about the next race in Jerez de la Frontera, ready to give our best!”.
