Warm Up showed that the riders’ feelings with the bike are good, but we hadn’t had a session as hot as today’s Race during this GP weekend. The Spielberg track is hard on the tyres and also on the brakes. Tyre pressure and tyre degradation played a key role, and on top of that the riders’ concentration and fitness. During races like these, the sting is always in the tail. While our riders did a good job managing the situation towards the final stages, gaining positions, we weren’t strong enough at the start of the race to challenge in the front group. Still, our overall performance was not too bad at a track that doesn’t suit us much. Now we look forward to the next round in Montmeló. It’s another Monster Energy sponsored GP and a track that is more up our alley.
