Dominique from 29th to13th and Tomoyoshi 20th in Misano moto2 race


Dominique pushing hard, very good and constant lap-time 


All practice have been difficult for Dominique suffering from a lack of confidence in the front tyre and a loss of speed, if the team was able to solve the problem for the speed the problem with the front end was still there for the warm-up. The team did some little change for the race but the outcome was difficult to figure out.
Dominique start from 29th position, had a good start but the first corner was a hard one to got throught, for a couple of laps it seems the front problem was still there but soon Dominique began to get a better feel and start to push and lap time soon come with it, lap after lap he pick up the pace and gain position to finish in 13th position.

 Good race from Tomoyoshi Koyama for his first moto2 race in WGP

Tomoyoshi Koyama experience his first moto2 race due to Kenan Sofuoglu injuries, riding in the Spanish championship he was already familiar with the Suter MMX, practice after practice he was able to make progress. For the race he had a good start but lose time at the first corner to avoid the crash in front of him, he runs a very constant laptime end ends up in 20th position after 26 laps on a very hot and humid weather conditions.
Kenan Sofuoglu may return for Aragon if his right foot allow him to do so, so far he still have pain but still more than 10days before the race so let's hope he will be fine.


Misano moto2 FP2 practice

Mix feeling today at Misano, Dominique struggle a little with rear grip and suffer speed loss so lap time wasn't too good this afternoon, the team spend a lot of time looking at data during the evening and they hope suspension change and electrical parts at fault being replaced to help for FP3
Tomoyoshi Koyama riding alongside Dominique for this week-end instead of injured Kenan Sofuoglu did quite well for his first day, Tomo san is a light weight riders so his top speed is good.


TOP SPEED, Tomo on top but Dominique's bike way too slow
