Red Bull KTM Team closed this sunday with both of their riders well inside the top ten, and Francesco Guidotti regretted the team couldn’t reach the results that the team could have.
The Team Manager of the team addressed Jack Miller’s race – seventh position – as follow: ‘An intense race. For Jack it was solid. He recovered ground to the leaders then kept the position. He suffered a bit with the front tyre with ten laps to go but kept steady and finished with some points. It was difficult and the tyre choice was not clear but he made the right decision for himself’.
Then he looked at the performance from Brad Binder, sixth, and the two big moments of the south african which saw himself involved in two racing incidents, with Luca Marini crashing, and then after with Miguel Oliveira. These incidents meant the #33 had two Long Lap penalties:
– Brad finished 6th with two long laps! A very fast race for him. It was some shaking at Turn 8 which meant he was missing some braking potential into Turn 9 and hit Luca Marini; we apologize for that but it was something out of our control. Strange contact also the second time.
Guidotti ended with a word towards the team performance which, he believes, was worthy of another result: ‘We showed our potential again but we could not catch what we could and what we deserved‘.
