I had lost three places by turn one\u2026 We had the pace of the leaders in the early laps without pushing at the limit and that\u2019s when I thought about the podium. The bike was perfect, but then my performance was affected by my right forearm as the arm pump prevented me from being as fast as I\u2019d wished. It\u2019s a shame because the bike was worthy of a win.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>16<sup>th<\/sup> &#8211; JEREMY ALCOBA #52 (17<sup>th<\/sup> in the standings with 33 points)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe\u2019re wrapping up a quite difficult weekend. The race pace wasn\u2019t too bad. I couldn\u2019t push at the limit at the beginning because I was struggling to overtake those in front of me. I was consistently quick then as soon as I had clear track ahead. It\u2019s clear that starting from so far back doesn\u2019t help, so we\u2019ll try to be competitive from FP1 at the next races.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Filip Sala\u010d finished today\u2019s Moto2 race at Motegi in fifth place, a top-five result that had been missing for months (since the podium finish at Le Mans) \u2013 which gives&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":34189,"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-34193","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 -
