VOSTATEK HAS HIS SECOND WET RACE OF THE SEASON IN ALCARAS

7. 6. 2017
After the race in Barcelona, Ondřej Vostatek and the ETG Racing Team moved to the race track at Alcaras, the next destination of the Spanish CEV Championship. After two sunny days of training, he entered the wet qualification and wet race in the Pre-moto3 category.

During training on Thursday and Friday, Ondřej had very good lap times, but the weather drastically changed just before the qualification session and it started to rain. The persistent rain lasted throughout qualification and continued for the entire race. Unfortunately, the team were unable to find the right motorcycle set-up for Ondřej to be comfortable on the wet track. Under these conditions, he qualified for the race in 20th position from a total of 27 riders.

Ondřej started the race excellently, moving several places ahead, but he lacked the necessary confidence and experience of his older competitors in the bends. Although his performanace continuously improved during the race, he finished in 17th position overall.

After the races, Jan Vostatek said:

"We are patiently gaining further experience, which we lack on wet surfaces. Another detrimental factor is that we are very frequently on the road and attending races, so we do not have as much time as we need for training. In addition to all this, Ondřej must also cope with school, which we by no means want to neglect, and it ranks at the same level as racing, especially at present with the approaching end of the year. For this reason, I would like to thank all the teachers and mistresses for their great patience, as they do not have it easy with us and help us cope with everything, and occasionally even turn a blind eye."

"The holidays will be here soon, so we shall have greater space to plan additional training sessions. I believe that we shall continue to improve gradually and get even better results in time." Said Jan Vostatek in closing.
