For the Ducati Xerox Junior Team it was a difficult weekend.
Some technical problems came up with the gearbox of both riders and prevented them competing for a win.
Brendan Roberts said after the race: “It’s a very difficult moment because I am so disappointed.
I understood immediately that something was wrong but I just gritted my teeth and did everything to stay with the front-runners for the first half of the race.
After that it became really difficult as the gears were slipping which nearly caused me to fall more than once.
I still tried to finish in the points zone but it wasn’t possible, in fact I had to stop the second I crossed the finish line.
We still have a chance at the title and I have definitely not lost any of my determination or motivation.
We will win in Portugal!”Also for Brendan’s teammate Domenico Colucci things didn’t go well: “This morning in the warm-up everything was fine but as soon as we started the race I could tell there was a problem with the gears.
It wasn’t easy to finish the race in those conditions but I did it, and at least brought home a few points.
I am sorry for Brendan but in Portugal we’ll both be back.
