Can Oncu
“Another difficult race, but the positive thing is that I’m continuing to feel better on the bike. We knew this track would be really tough with all the left-hand turns, but we nevertheless managed to finish both races not far from the points. Our thoughts now turn to the next round at Portimao, a track where I’m we can do a lot better. Thanks to the team for all their precious support.”
