First day of hard work at Spielberg for Sam Lowes

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

Sam Lowes and the Team Federal Oil Gresini #moto2 officially kicked off today the second half of the 2016 campaign facing the first two free practice sessions of the Austrian Grand Prix at Red Bull Ring in #spielberg.

At his first visit on this track riding his Kalex #moto2 machine, unlike many other riders who had the opportunity to carry out some tests last July, Lowes closed the first day of free practice with the 13th fastest time, 1’30”481, focusing on set-up without putting the softer tyre in the afternoon session. Tomorrow team and rider will focus mainly on the second sector of the track, at the moment the one where Sam is struggling more, while the good split times in the other sectors of the track are encouraging ahead of tomorrow afternoon’s Qualifying.


SAM LOWES (13th - 1'30"481)
“Having not tested here, we knew that there would be a lot of work to do, so I’m not so worried about the gap: I feel pretty good and, despite not having used the best tyre in the afternoon session, my ideal time is quite fast. The potential is good and I’m quite happy for this: we still need to improve a little at Turn 2 and overall in the second sector of the track, while for the rest I already feel strong”.
FAUSTO GRESINI
“Obviously, every time we face a new track for the first time there is a lot of work to do: Sam and the team worked very hard today and we completed two very useful sessions to find the right direction to take regarding the bike set-up, so we are optimistic ahead of tomorrow. We just need to try to make some more progress, especially in T2, then we can have our say in Qualifying”.
