Furusato crash fighting for points

The young rookie crashed five corners from the end of the Moto3 race when he was in a brilliant 12th position. For his part, Mario Aji made a mistake by jumping a chicane and was penalized with a long lap, losing contact with the group and any chance of a good result.

An exciting race in Le Mans where our riders offer us their best. They did a good race, with the best lap time quite fast. Mario made a mistake in the chicane, being penalized with a long lap and losing the group. It’s a pity because, until that moment, his pace was good. Taiyo fought for points in the 12th position until the last lap, but he crashed. The positive is that he’s ok, and he showed his speed. Let’s see the positive parts of this weekend starting to think in Mugello.

During the weekend, I felt continuous improvements. I’m a bit angry because I’ve struggled during the race. I made a good start, but the race has been tuff. I was on the limit in every lap. I’m disappointed in myself. Now I have a few weeks to recover and forget that thinks. I’m sure I will come back stronger at Mugello.

An unexpected finish after a good race. My lap time was fast and constant, more than I expected. I started the race very well, gaining positions and being in the group fighting for points. But I made a mistake at five corners to the finish. But I should be positive. We have collected massive data that will help me in the next races. I’m sad but positive thinking about the future.
