After showing a strong pace throughout the week-end, San Carlo Team Italia FMI riders fought until the end in Sachsenring despite some grip issue. Romano Fenati (San Carlo Team Italia FMI FTR Honda#5) didn't hold back in the chasers' group and stayed in the Top 10 for most of the race to close in 13th position, + 20.151 behind the winner Rins.
Francesco Bagnaia (San Carlo Team Italia FMI FTR Honda#4) faced an uphill race after running wide in turn one during lap 13, but showed a pace similar to that of his teammate to end in 30th position.
Romano Fenati (San Carlo Team Italia FMI FTR Honda#5), 13º, 39'54.886
"I fought until the end but unfortunately suffered some grip issues since the very beginning. It's a shame, but it happens and I couldn't have done more today. That said, the team and I worked at our best, so overall it was definitely a positive week-end."
Francesco Bagnaia (San Carlo Team Italia FMI FTR Honda#4), 30º, 40'26.216
"The choice of a hard compound for the front turned out to be wrong and I lacked grip during the race. Lesson learned, and I'm positive since my pace was similar to Romano's, who fought much closer to the front. Next time we will improve."
Roberto Locatelli (FMI Technical Coordinator)
"Unfortunately we struggled with the tires today. Both Romano and Pecco were having problems in corner entry, and this track penalized even more. Both held tight and did a strong race, and we are ready to restart with the confidence coming from the steps forward we made in QP. After the summer break we will be back even stronger."
