Pace Shown Despite Mishap in Austria 🇦🇹

Hi everyone,

Austria was a weekend of solid pace, good vibes, and decent running despite a small mishap on my end 🤟

It’s never a dull moment at the Austrian GP, that is for sure, with the Red Bull Ring always creating a wild weekend of MotoGP racing. Fortunately for us, we were pretty competitive from the get-go, and it was nice to have some confidence heading into the weekend.

A couple of decent practice sessions where we gained a lot of data translated into P1 in Q1, which is always nice to be at the top of the times in any session, then we backed that up with P5 in Q2 when the big dogs were on the track. 

We felt we learned a lot throughout these sessions, it was a bit of a long way to do things with both quali sessions, but extra track time also can help you at times, and I felt like we maximised that side of things. 

The Sprint Race went pretty bloody well too I must say - to finish up there in P5 right with the boys was awesome as it’s been a minute since we’ve had that pace. To bank a solid result like that is crucial for points and momentum for the remainder of the season.

In the Feature Race, not the ideal way we wanted that to pan out. Felt like we were in a good position again and the pace was strong, but just a small mistake on my behalf - not sure if I hit a bump or what - but it ultimately put me down.

That was a real bummer to end the weekend like that, although there were a lot of positives to take away and all things considered I’m happy that we had a competitive bike throughout the weekend and a solid showing despite the crash 😅

Aragón next, we’ll keep on with this trajectory, and keep the ball rolling for the next phase of the season 🤟

Cheers,

Jack.
