The Red Bull Rookies Moto GP Cup in Italy at Misano last weekend was as tough as ever.  

Although just over two seconds off pole position Tarran qualified down in 20th position so a good result in the race was always going to be difficult.  Unfortunately matters got worse when Taz got a ride through penalty as he moved slightly before the lights went out for the race start.  When he got back on track he was of course at the back of the field but got his head down to eventually finish in 19th position.  On a positive note his bike set up improved for the race so his lap times were better than in the qualifying session.  

TM:  “ I was devastated when I saw I was being penalised for a jump start as I was convinced I did nothing wrong.  That is racing so I’ve put it all behind me and I'm going to Assen BSB next weekend to do my best to win another British Championship race.  After Assen we go straight to the final Red Bull Rookie round in Aragon in Spain so will try to end things on a high!”
