125cc.
Tito Rabat, Repsol Honda: 13th.
“It’s been a hard weekend for us we had a few problems on Thursday and Friday. I got a good start from 13th on the grid made up a couple of places. I was in a group fighting for 11th place but I couldn’t get away, I just didn’t have the acceleration. Finishing 13th is not the result that I wanted in the race, I enjoyed it and that’s important. There’s nothing more I could do, but I want to thank my team because they helped me a lot. ”
Alexis Masbou, FFM Honda: 16th.
“I had a good start but got stuck in the traffic in the slow part of the racetrack. It’s a pity because I was unable to stay with a good pack of riders because of that. The bike was working well and I was able to measure all the work achieved with the team. I was confident and could feel the front perfectly, which allowed me to perform well entering the corners. I wasn’t 100% confident with the rear but was nevertheless able to slide the bike and stay on the safe side. Indeed my lap time on lap three was faster than in practice. Throughout the race I fought with a pack of five or six riders. I took the lead on several occasions and was in front in the last lap but Lorenzo Zanetti pushed me on the inside and the only solution was to go wide and let him through. It’s the second time this season that I’m so close to scoring points and it’s really frustrating! Next week-end we are going to Albi for a French championship event and we still have a lot of work before the next Grand Prix, on July 14 and 15 in Germany. ”
Joey Litjens, Molenaar Honda: 26th.
“I didn’t get my usual good start and was in 22nd place at the end of the first lap. I was trying too hard and could not get into a good rhythm, making small mistakes and riding inconsistently. One lap at 1m 49.1s then 1m 48.0s. Every time the team showed me the pit board I thought, ‘this is not my day. ’ In every practice and qualifying session I felt very relaxed but today I felt the pressure of this being my home race – I just didn’t expect that. I blame myself because the bike was working really well today. ”
Mike Di Meglio, Kopron Scot Honda: dnf – cash.
“The lap before I crashed I touched another rider going into the left hand corner behind the paddock when I tried to pass him. I crashed at the same corner a lap later in a strange way. Going into the corner I braked a little earlier than necessary to avoid making the same mistake again but the rear end stepped out then slid away and high sided me from the bike. ”
Danny Webb, Molenaar Honda: dnf – crash.
“I was catching Joey (Litjens) in the group ahead of me when I crashed. I closed on Bonsey at a left hand corner but he braked earlier than I expected and I hit his back wheel and crashed. Pity because the bike was very good today and I was faster in the race than qualifying. ”
Bradley Smith, Repsol Honda: dns – Bradley Smith did not race due to injuries to his left hand and left foot sustained in Thursday’s practice session.
