MOTUL #fimsuperbikeworldchampionship at Donington Park, Great Britain.

The MOTUL #fimsuperbikeworldchampionship (WorldSBK) travelled to Britain’s Donington Park to hold its sixth round of the season at the weekend. #jorditorres (ESP) of the Althea BMW #racing Team finished the first race on Saturday in ninth position but retired in race two on Sunday. His team-mate #raffaelederosa (ITA) was 15th in the first heat and claimed a top-10 finish in race two, crossing the line in tenth.

Jordi Torres: “In race one, I had a quite consistent pace, which allowed me to pass a couple of riders. Considering the vibration issues we suffered it was not bad to finish the race in ninth. In race two I tried to push and catch Camier and Forés because I felt that I had a stronger pace than them. Unfortunately though, I crashed at the chicane and could not continue with the race.”

Raffaele De Rosa: “Race one was not easy, particularly with the strong wind. I managed to finish the race but the tyre was pretty much destroyed. On Sunday, conditions were different; it was hotter. I tried to improve my pace and while there was a certain degree of improvement I had hoped to do more to be honest. I hope we can make another step forward at Misano.”
