Good steps forward for Cardus but still struggling with injured back at challenging Austin track

The qualifying day has concluded for the NGM Mobile Forward Racing riders and their SpeedUp at the Circuit Of The Americas (COTA).

Ricky Cardús, who crashed during the last race in Qatar and is not yet fully recovered, was in the Top 10 during most of the morning practice and has gained confidence with both his bike and the track.

Ricky Cardùs – 22th – 2’13.121 “I made an important step since yesterday, I gained confidence on this new track and during the morning practice I was for most of it in the Top 10. During qualifying my lap times were close to the ones from the morning, but I didn’t have much grip. I struggle a bit with the first sector, it is a very physical one and my back is not yet fully recovered from the crash in Qatar. I want to focus on tomorrow’s race levelheaded and do my best.”
