Efren Vazquez salvages 10th position from difficult Misano race

The fact that it wasn’t going to be an easy race, already became apparent to Efren Vazquez during the Free Practice sessions. The warm up this morning showed that he coped better with his bike than on previous days, thus making expectations rise.

At the beginning, everything did indeed look promising. The SAXOPRINT RTG rider had a good start and could keep up with the pace of the leading group for the first couple of laps.

During the race but both Efren and fellow teammate John McPhee fell back gradually, ultimately resulting in places 10 for Efren and 13 for John.

The ranking in the championship standings remains unchanged. Now both riders have to make the remaining few races count to try and climb up a few positions.

“It was not a good race for us. I am a little bit disappointed. After warm up I was very confident with the bike but during the race it was very difficult. The race was like a war. Everybody rode crazy lines. So I lost a lot of places. The most important now is to get some points. We will see what happens in Aragon.”
