Apart from Nakagami, who had a good pace, I was still faster than the other riders involved in the fight for third place, so I was determined to pass them to try to pull away. Then I had some problems with the bike, I lost the front and I crashed. It\u2019s a real shame. However, now we look forward to the tests we will carry out in Valencia in the coming days, before facing the Aragon Grand Prix, where we will keep working to improve\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><strong>FAUSTO GRESINI<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a pity! We knew it wouldn\u2019t be an easy race today, but despite everything Sam was in a good position to fight for the podium, after passing Zarco, Luthi and Morbidelli. Unfortunately we leave Misano with another zero in the standings, but we don\u2019t lose heart: in the coming days we will be back on track in Valencia for a testing session before heading to Aragon, where we are determined to get a good result!\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Team Federal Oil Gresini Moto2 rider Sam Lowes was forced to retire in today\u2019s Grand Prix of San Marino and Riviera di Rimini at Misano following a crash during the&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":22696,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21,23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2705","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-moto2-en","category-race-report-moto2-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.3 -
