Sky Racing Team VR46: Fenati festeggia ad Assen il 60° GP in carriera.

Continua l’avventura dello Sky Racing Team VR46 nel Motomondiale 2015 su uno dei tracciati di maggior storia e tradizione nel Motorsport: il TT Circuit di Assen. Il circuito, da sempre considerato uno dei più difficili del campionato e per questo ribattezzato “Università delle due ruote”, anche quest’anno sarà teatro del Gran Premio d’Olanda. Un banco di prova importante per i piloti dello Sky Racing Team VR46 e un’occasione speciale per Romano Fenati, che ad Assen taglierà il prestigioso traguardo dei 60 Gran Premi in carriera disputati nel Motomondiale. Dall’esordio a Losail del 2012, Fenati si è affermato come il pilota italiano di maggior successo della classe Moto3™ con 6 vittorie (5 con lo Sky Racing Team VR46) ed altri 6 piazzamenti a podio. In carriera, il pilota ascolano ha totalizzato finora 107 giri in testa nel corso delle gare, 460 punti e 5 giri più veloci, tra cui il primato ufficiale conseguito nel 2014 proprio sul TT Circuit di Assen in 1’42″914. Dopo l’ottavo posto ottenuto in Catalogna (sesta gara a punti consecutiva), il numero 5 è pronto per tornare a lottare con il gruppo dei primi. Anche per Andrea Migno, il TT Circuit di Assen rappresenta una nuova sfida. In costante ascesa nell’ultimo periodo, nonostante la sfortunata battuta d’arresto in gara a Montmelò causata da un contatto con Karel Hanika, in Olanda il rookie di Cattolica proseguirà il suo percorso di crescita su una pista a lui conosciuta. Nel 2011, infatti, il pilota romagnolo concluse 10° nella seconda corsa della Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup, monomarca su base KTM che affianca il Motomondiale nei principali round europei, concretizzando una pregevole rimonta dalla ventunesima casella in griglia. Lo Sky Racing Team VR46 è il team più social della Moto3, leader su Facebook, Twitter e Instagram, con oltre 90.000 iscritti. Inoltre, sulla pagina ufficiale del Team. Anche per il GP d’Olanda, in primo piano sulla home page del sito ufficiale del team, sarà possibile visualizzare in tempo reale il Race Control dedicato alla Moto3, grazie al quale seguire live tutti i tempi dei piloti: posizioni, tempi sul giro, distacchi e intermedi della gara.

I COMMENTI DEI PROTAGONISTI

PABLO NIETO / Team Manager Il GP di Assen è una delle gare più attese della stagione. Siamo reduci da un risultato discreto in Catalogna, ma tutto il team è consapevole di poter fare ancora di più. Credo che questa gara sia molto importante per Romano perché arriva in un momento della stagione in cui è fondamentale dare continuità di prestazione. Andrea penso sia pronto per stare con il gruppo dei primi 15 piloti, sia durante le prove che in gara. Abbiamo davvero voglia di tornare in pista.

ROMANO FENATI / Pilota Il GP di Catalogna non può essere considerato tra i più brillanti della nostra stagione ma ci ha offerto molti spunti di riflessione. In gara ho avuto un buon passo ma un contatto nei giri iniziali mi ha allontanato dalla lotta per i primi posti. Ad Assen arriviamo ancora più motivati: è la “Cattedrale della velocità”, una pista molto difficile ma altrettanto bella e tecnica. Se tutto il team riuscirà a lavorare nel modo giusto, sin dalle prime prove libere, potremo fare sicuramente bene.

ANDREA MIGNO / Pilota Assen è una bellissima pista anche se la conosco poco. Sarà molto importante adattarsi il prima possibile per iniziare a lavorare subito in vista della gara. Dobbiamo cercare di confermare il nostro potenziale. Peccato per il contatto con Hanika in Catalogna, ma queste sono le gare.

The track which has always been considered one of the toughest in the championship thus earning the nickname of “University of Motorcycling”, also this year will play host to the Dutch GP. An important testing ground for the Sky Racing Team VR46 riders as well as a special occasion for Romano Fenati, who at Assen is going to hit the prestigious milestone of 60 GPs in his career in the World Championship. Since his debut in Losail back in 2012, Fenati has established himself as the most successful Italian rider in the Moto3 ™ class with 6 wins (5 on the Sky Racing Team VR46) and other six podium finishes. In his career, the rider from Ascoli Piceno has been in the lead for 107 laps so far, has got 460 points and five fastest laps, including the official record achieved in 2014 right on the TT Circuit Assen in 1’42 “914. After his eighth-place finish in Catalunya (sixth consecutive race in points), rider number 5 is ready to return to fight with the front group. Also for Andrea Migno, the TT Circuit Assen represents a new challenge. Steadily rising as of recently, despite the unfortunate setback in the race at Montmelo caused by a collision with Karel Hanika, in the Netherlands the rookie from Cattolica will continue on his path of improvement on a track that he knows.

THE TEAM PABLO NIETO / Team Manager The Motul TT Assen GP is one of the most anticipated races of the season. We’re coming off a decent result in Catalunya, but the whole team is aware that we can do even better. I think this race is very important for Romano as it comes at a time of the season when it is vital to prove consinstent in one’s performances. I think Andrea is ready to stay within the top 15 group, both during free practice sessions and in the race. We can’t wait to get back on track. ROMANO FENATI / Rider The Catalunya GP cannot be considered among our brightest performances of the season but it offered much food for thought. I was able to keep a good race pace but an early collision made me lose ground away from the lead pack. Now we’ll go into Assen GP with an extra motivation: it is the Cathedral of Speed, a very tough but at the same time enthralling and technical track. If the whole team manages to work in the right way, from the very first free practice session, we will definitely be able to do well. ANDREA MIGNO / Rider Assen is an amazing track even if I don’t know it very well. It will be key to try and adapt as soon as possible to start working at the right set-up for the race. We have to show our potential. Too bad for that collision with Hanika in Catalunya, but this is racing.
