ALCOBA SCORES FIRST CHAMPIONSHIP POINTS AT SILVERSTONE

Jeremy Alcoba has put together a truly remarkable performance at Silverstone. In his very first weekend across the Channel, the very young substitute rider of Gabriel Rodrigo not only managed to finish the opening day in the top-ten, but also went close to gain direct access to Q2 before scoring his first World championship points at his second-ever race with Kömmerling Gresini Moto3.

It was bad a hard-fought race, in which the number 52 even got very close to a top-ten finish. Two points in his tally and some smiles in Gresini Racing’s pit-box while waiting for the return of Rodrigo, which should happen at Misano in three weeks’ time.

Another subpar race for Riccardo Rossi, who cannot finish any higher than 27thwith a big gap at the chequered flag to wrap up a difficult weekend which was made harder by the injury as well as by yesterday’s crash during FP3.

14th – JEREMY ALCOBA #52

“I’m happy with these points, but we could have done better. We lost touch with the leading group after Arenas’s crash and especially with the exchanges in positions with Fernández. I had the pace to achieve something more but I can’t complain. It’s been a nice little journey with a fantastic team to which I can’t be thankful enough.”

27th – RICCARDO ROSSI #54

“I lost plenty of time at the beginning with Masaki. We exchanged positions several times and lost touch with the group ahead. It’s a pity because we were doing well in the first two laps. Now we must think ahead to Misano, a track I know like the back of my hand and where we must perform a lot better.”
