Started under a heavy rain that accompanied the drivers from Thursday to Friday, on Saturday the sky opened up to make way for the races! The test day on Thursday was unfortunately lost after only 4 laps due to the disastrous weather conditions. The first qualifying of the weekend, held on a dry track, ended in ninth position, while the second was conducted on a wet track and finished in fourth. The starting grid for the races was made taking into account the first qualifying because given the dry weather conditions recorded better times than the second. Massimo then sees himself lined up in third.

Massimo Roccoli: ” A weekend below expectations. In race one, I started well, but a technical problem at the gear lever forced me to retire. Today I could not replicate yesterday’s starting point and I was bottled. In the race I had difficulty finding the rhythm and the affinity with the bike, I did not feel comfortable, a problem that I had throughout the season with the new tires. I’m very sorry because we worked very hard with the team to find the right affinity. I thank all my sponsors and supporters.”
