LIGHTECH SPEED UP

RACE: TOUGH GRAND PRIX OF STYRIA FOR LIGHTECH SPEEDUP

A really complicated weekend that didn’t give much to the LighTech SpeedUp team that leaves the Red Bull Ring without guts and without glory.

Jorge Navarro ended his race in twentieth place after a tough weekend. The first improvements were seen in the last laps of the race when it seems to have found more stability and good pace. And it will be precisely from those data that Jorge will restart next weekend, at the Austrian Grand Prix, with his technicians.

The return to the track of Montella, after months of absence, was precisely on a circuit unknown to him. It was known that it would have been more complicated for Yari, but fortunately there will be a second race on the same track that rider and team will face differently with more information at their disposal. The team rookie finished the Styrian Grand Prix with the 24^th place.

JORGE NAVARRO # 9: 20^th

“It was a really complicated weekend because we never managed to find the right sensations to pick up the pace and have more stability on the bike. This morning we revolutionized the bike in the warm up, although the few laps made due to the rain, the feeling started to improve. We then changed the setting again for the race as the track was drying out. The first laps were the most difficult, I was losing time in turn 3. Towards the end of the race we were much faster, so much so that we had the fastest seventh lap time. This means that we are working in the right direction. So we just have to think about next weekend here at the Red Bull Ring”.

YARI MONTELLA # 5: 24^th

“Neither a positive nor a negative day, I found myself in a situation that I already expected. I was hoping for something better, but it wasn’t. The important thing now is to stay focused for the next race. We need to find more confidence in driving, as soon as we find it we will be able to achieve better results”.
