Can Oncu
“It was a difficult race. I started well and the setup we found yesterday allowed me to maintain a consistently fast pace. I wasn’t able to make up many positions and score the kind of result I wanted, but I guess we couldn’t do much more starting from the fifth row. With respect to Donington the bike worked better and so I’m confident for the next round at Portimao. A big thanks to the team for all their great work here at Most.”
