Fifth podium place of the season for Febvre
The first race at the Arco di Trento circuit did not go well for Romain Febvre. During the 17th Grand Prix of the season, the Frenchman stood on the podium. His teammate Clement Desalle finished fourth in both heats, the Kawasaki riders tell their story here from Italy.
Romain Febvre: “Since Sunday I was able to recover physically quite well, but not completely and tonight I still have pain in my back! It wasn't an easy day but I rode a good first moto. I had a bad start because my rear wheel slid on the metal plate, but I had good speed to come back from last to fifth. My second start was much better. I came third, went to second and had a nice battle with Tim. I just couldn't find a place to pass him, it's really hard to pass here. But I'm on the podium and that's good, even though I would rather be on a different step. Now I have three days to recover and then I will try to get on the podium again. ”
Clement Desalle: “Overall it was a good day, starting with a fifth place in the training time. At the first start I was seventh or eighth. I passed two guys and then Cairoli crashed and that gave me fourth position. I was behind Lupino who was third. I was faster than him, but to pass on this track is really difficult! My second start was good, but then there was the red flag. My start in the re-run wasn't that good, but I was able to come back to fourth with Cairoli behind me. He was close for a few laps, but then I was fully focused for a few laps and was able to open a gap on him.”
