“It was a good weekend, a steady first moto with p10, I had a bad start but rode good laps and finished 10.
Second moto again really bad start but I moved quickly up to 11th. Unfortunately I made a little mistake and crashed, but fought till the last second and came home in 11th with even purple sector last lap, so it feels good to see we are making steps in the right direction. Now we get ready for Sardinia to do some sand surfing”

“Overall it was a good, solid weekend for us and I was pleased with the way Kay rode in both motos.
The results don’t quite tell the full story, as he didn’t get the best of starts in either race, but his speed during the motos was very strong. To come through the field and deliver consistent lap times shows the level he’s riding at now.
In the second moto, he made a small mistake and went down, which was unfortunate as he was making good progress, but the important thing was the way he responded – fighting all the way to the finish and still bringing it home in a good position.
Seeing him set some of his strongest lap times towards the end of the race is really encouraging and shows the steps we’re making. We’re continuing to build and there’s a lot of positives to take from the weekend.
The team did a great job as always and the Kawasaki performed faultlessly, so thanks to all of the team and product sponsors for their continued support.
Now we turn our focus to Sardinia, which brings a different challenge with the sand, and we’re looking forward to seeing what we can do there as we keep pushing forward.”
