Begining of the race, Dominique leads De Angelis, Takahashi and Iannone

Kenan 19th and Dominique 201th in Sepang moto2 qualifying



Maybe the fact of being in front of the field put pressure on Dominique shoulder and for the qualifying session he was unable to get back on the  same rythm he was before, the track had lost some grip and this as somehow being a disturbing fact for most of the riders, Kenan did suffer front end grip that took away some confidence, by the end of the practice he start to get better but got held off during his best lap, more set-up change for the warm to try to resolve grip issue.
Kenan will start in 19th position in front of Dominique

Hommage a Dan Wheldon
Dan Wheldon est décédé des suites de ses blessures recues lors d'un gros accident a Las Vegas.
Il a fait l'essentiel de sa carrière aux Etats Unis remportant de nombreuses courses en Indy-Car et deux fois vainqueur des 500 miles d'Indianapolis dont l’édition de cette année.

Dan Wheldon, a 16-time IndyCar race winner, 2003 rookie of the year and two-time winner of the Indianapolis 500, including this year's, was among the most skilled drivers in motorsports. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Wheldon and his family

Kenan Sofuoglu missing out pole position at P/Island



It has been a great qualifying session for Kenan down under, with the rain interrupting the qualifying session it was all set for plenty of drama, Kenan was holding the third position for most of the session before coming into the pits and waiting for the track to dry out, with few minutes remaining he went out again and set the best time of the session and almost look set to be on front row but he miss out as other riders were improving too.
Kenan miss out the pole for 0,155 sec and end up in 5th position.



Until the qualifying session Dominique has been struggling with front end problem and poor rear grip, with major set-up changes he was able to improve his lap time and feeling but get caught with the rain, so after coming into the pits he found himself down in 21th position so as soon the track start drying out he was the first one to go on slicks and lap after lap was improving his lap time, he will start from 13th position.

SIDEWAYS
Motegi is hard for brakes, so not easy to find the right combination with engine brake, suspension and tyres.

Dominique 8th and Kenan 19th in Motegi moto2 race


Good race from Dominique at Motegi, he had a good start and was able to run in seven position for most of the race, toward the end he got pass by B.Smith but was able to keep up with him, a last lap effort saw him closing the gap but wasn't enough, a 8th position finish allow him to collect more points and moving up in the standing.


Kenan had a good start and had a good pace, lost a couple of position and on lap nine outbrake himself sending him out of the track, he went back on track in 24th position and move up the field to finish19th.
