In race one we only had four laps due to the red flag, so I only try to defend my position and bring home the most points I could. I started Race 2 in sixth place: at the beginning I struggled to get up to speed, but in the final laps I realised I could have aimed higher; I had a great battle with Garzo and made as much ground as possible while studying the best areas of the track where to overtake my opponents. We did a great job: now we\u2019re all close together in the championship standings. We need to stay calm and collected: we\u2019ll now head to Barcelona, where we had an excellent preseason test, before moving to Misano, my home event as well as my favourite track. Then we\u2019ll think about Portim\u00e3o.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>ALESSIO FINELLO #72<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday\u2019s two races were quite challenging: I suffered a lot due to the unique layout of the circuit. I\u2019m aware of what I\u2019m missing, I\u2019m working very hard and putting in as much effort as possible in order to improve, but I still struggle a lot and this track brought out our critical areas even more. In race one it was hard to get back to speed after the red flag and I was slow. In race two we salvaged what we could: I lost a lot on the opening lap, then I started to make up ground and finished with a decent lap-time. I lack confidence and I don\u2019t seem to be able to ride in a relaxed way: we\u2019re working hard with the team, whom I thank a lot because they\u2019re doing everything possible for me to recover the feeling. Now there\u2019s a weekend off and then Barcelona, a completely different layout, where we\u2019ll do our best to be in the top ten. Even if we struggle, there are some positives and we\u2019ll try to approach the upcoming races the best way and bring home something to be satisfied about.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>RACE 1 &#8211; HungarianGP<\/b><\/p>\n<p>4th &#8211; <b>MATTEO FERRARI #11<\/b><\/p>\n<p>12th &#8211; <b>ALESSIO FINELLO #72<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>RACE 2 &#8211; HungarianGP<\/b><\/p>\n<p>&#x1f949; &#8211; <b>MATTEO FERRARI #11 <\/b><i>(All-Time Lap Record in 1\u201945.268s)<\/i><\/p>\n<p>13th &#8211; <b>ALESSIO FINELLO #72<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>MotoE World Standings<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>5th<\/b> &#8211; <b>MATTEO FERRARI #11 <\/b>&#8211; 94 points<\/p>\n<p><b>14th &#8211; ALESSIO FINELLO #72 <\/b>&#8211; 33 points<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MATTEO FERRARI #11 \u201cToday we did a great job: unfortunately yesterday a mistake in Practice compromised our qualifying, meaning we found ourselves in seventh place on the grid and in&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":38947,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[67,69],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-38949","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-motoe-en","category-race-report-motoe-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.3 -
