MORE POINTS FOR SALAČ AT MUGELLO
RACE – #ItalianGP A shy sun hid behind the clouds above the Mugello Circuit on race day. The two standard bearers of team Gresini Racing Moto2 lined up on the grid for the 12:20 start of the race on row eight, in front of the Italian crowd.
After a challenging start, Filip Salač put together a great comeback from 23rd to 13th at the chequered flag – which allowed him to earn more points in the championship standings. His personal best lap-time was the sixth quickest of the race (1’52.410).
Alessandro Zaccone had a good feeling with the bike throughout the race but struggled to get up to speed in the early laps. He managed to improve his pace in the central part of the encounter, as ran as high at 17th. He crossed the line 19th, but he is now looking forward to continuing the good work done next weekend at Barcelona.
13th – FILIP SALAČ #12
“I’m really happy with today’s race: I must admit that it was quite hard to start so far back and there were many aggressive riders around me in the group. I managed to settle into a good pace, which allowed me to have a great race – maybe the best one for me so far in this category. I’m happy: the team has worked hard for this result. We will try to do the same in Barcelona!”
19th – ALESSANDRO ZACCONE #61
“I’m quite happy with today’s race. I struggled a bit in the first laps but then on my race improved. I suffered from a lack of grip towards the end, but overall we worked well this weekend, so I’m quite happy. We will continue in this direction at Montmeló.”
