MXGP of Germany
22 May 2017
We have reached the eighth round of the World Motocross season, which takes the stage on the Teutschental German track, very technical and insidious.
Samuele Bernardini comes to this appointment with still big ankle injury problems in Holland.
In the tests, Samuele goes down the track to look for the right feeling but has failed to find the perfect lap to get a good time.
The qualifying round saw the protagonist Bernardini, thanks to a racing lead to the attack he showed several overtakes and went on to earn a good ninth place that he hoped for the two races on Sunday.
In race 1 Samuele was very good at starting with 5th position immediately, the “Bern” immediately tried to attack his opponents but made a mistake that made him lose some positions. In trying to recover he stumbled into two falls that in fact took him away from getting a good result.
In the second run, Samuele failed to repeat the good race start 1 and in the first lap he slipped. Shot in the backs tried to recover as many positions as possible, but the track did not make any difference, Bernardini finished his 17th race.
Once again, Samuel has proven to be able to keep pace with the first and made a very interesting turnaround.
Just a few days off and then back on track in France to Ernee.
Marco Ricciardi commented on the race: “It’s not our best time, Samuele continues to have ankle problems and is forced to run in defense, Samuel in the first run he made too many mistakes, in Race 2 on the first lap he fell Reassemble but was not easy. We are not happy with this performance because we know that these are not our positions. Next week we are back on track and we are considering making Samuele rest to get to the best in France.”
