Miller Park round

by admin on May 31, 2011

Today seemed to be quite a difficult day for us.

We were fortunate enough to get some dry weather during both our races, but overall we had major problems with rear tyre degredation in both races. In the first race after around six laps, our rear tyre performance dropped quite considerably and as a result my lap times were not so fast and I closed in 16th place.

During the second race I managed to get a good start and battle with a few of the others riders in the beginning which I enjoyed, but again after around 10-12 laps my level of rear grip dropped quickly and I could not maintain the same lap times, finishing 17th. In any case I believe we have had a good weekend, we are learning more about the bike all the time and I really believe once we resolve a few small issues regarding tyre wear and improve the bike’s balance a little, we can be a lot more competitive in future races. I would like to thank my team for all their hard work throughout this weekend.
