QP2 Crash ruins Robbie’s progress

Robbie will start from the front row for tomorrow’s race here at Silverstone. After a great day 1, things got a little worse for day 2. Robbie took a huge tumble in the late stages of QP2, and after struggling to better his times, things were looking good on fresh rubber, until Robbie lost the front end at high speed through Maggots corner. “To say I am gutted would be an absolute understatement. I was pushing through the session trying to get a good race setup on old tyres. I struggles a lot with grip and also the on-track traffic, but I was still able to complete some real fast and consistent times” “I came in for a new rear tyre with only a few minutes to go, and with clear track I knew I could go quicker. I came onto my flying lap and the bike was feeling good, but then, a stupid error into Maggots caused me to lose the front end and down the road I went – you don’t actually appreciate how quick you are going at that corner until you are sliding down the road! I definitely don’t want to be doing that again” “Still, all is not lost for tomorrow and I have managed to stay on the front row in 4th position. For sure though, it’s going to be a very difficult race but I feel I have the pace and also the setup and I can’t wait for the green light!” Commented a considerably up-beat Robbie So now it’s onto repairing the bike, ready for warm-up and the 14 lap race tomorrow, where Robbie hopes he can get back to his Croft form! » No Comments There are no comments up to now. » Post Comment Email (will not be published) Name Title Comment  remaining characters Post
