Quarto appuntamento del Mondiale sul Circuito Masaryk di Brno per il Gran Premio della Repubblica Ceca. In una giornata densa di lavoro, il team MV Agusta Forward Racing si presenta nuovamente pronto ai nastri di partenza del week-end. Le temperature alte mettono subito a dura prova le gomme e i piloti, che hanno preferito sperimentare di più il passo gara lungo i 5.4 chilometri del tracciato ceco. Continua il momento positivo di Stefano Manzi che chiude in Top Ten di giornata fermando il cronometro a 2’03”139, il migliore dei suoi 23 giri tra FP1 e FP2. Il riminese ha dimostrato subito grande feeling, chiudendo 6° già in mattinata (migliore degli italiani), e restando molto costante sul ritmo. Venerdì leggermente più duro per Simone Corsi che ha firmato in 2’03”700 il suo miglior tempo di giornata, 22° tempo della combinata, fatto registrare nelle FP1. Il pilota delle Fiamme Oro non ha potuto migliorare nel pomeriggio a causa di una caduta che ha compromesso il secondo turno di prove libere. Entrambi i piloti cercheranno la migliore prestazione possibile domani, a cominciare dalle FP3 alle 10:55 e nelle due sessioni di qualifica a partire dalle 15:10.

Team MV Agusta Forward Racing looking for another good weekend in Brno

Fourth round of the World Championship at the Masaryk Circuit in Brno for the Czech Republic Grand Prix. On a busy day, the MV Agusta Forward Racing team found itself ready for the weekend. The high temperatures put a strain on the tires and the riders, who preferred to work more on the race pace along the 5.4 kilometers of the Czech track. Stefano Manzi’s good moment continue as he finishes in the Top 10 of the day, stopping the clock at 2’03”139, the best of his 23 laps between FP1 and FP2. The rider from Rimini immediately showed great feeling, ending up 5th in the morning (firs Italian rider), and he remains strongly constant on the pace. Slightly harder Friday for Simone Corsi who made his best time of the day in 2’03”700, set during FP1 and 22nd of the day. The Fiamme Oro rider was unable to improve in the afternoon due to a crash that compromised the rest of the session. Both riders will look for the best performance possible tomorrow, starting from FP3 at 10:55 am and in the two qualifying sessions starting at 3:10 pm.

“I’m quite happy with this first day, we didn’t go very well here last year but today we got off to a good start with the FP1. In FP2 I had to make two stops so i didn’t run a lot, but we managed to improve anyway. The pace is very good and we’ll try to do something more tomorrow”

“My start was good this morning, the feeling seemed good, but I still missed something to improve. In the afternoon I made a little mistake at turn one, I crashed, and we couldn’t run more. Tomorrow in the FP3 will be very important to set a good time and grab the pass to Q2.”

“It was a positive day for us. Stefano was really consistent, he definitely has a competitive pace, he’s missing just something in the single lap. It’s a pity for Simone, instead: in FP1 he didn’t do so bad this morning but a little mistake ruined FP2 in the afternoon. The bike didn’t return a the garage in time to recover. I hope he can regain confidence tomorrow morning and make the most of FP3. We’ll see tomorrow morning, get directly to Q2 is the most important thing for both of them.”
