Unlucky season finale for Silva as he crashes out of home race

Today the Ricardo Tormo circuit held a crazy MotoGP finale. The rain once again left the track in a critical state which made it difficult for the riders to make up their mind between dry or wet conditions tyres. The Avintia Blusens riders made different choices. Aoyama opted for wet whereas Silva took a higher risk by choosing dry. Iván proved he made the right choice as time went by as most riders ended up going dry. Unfortunately he crashed which kept him from achieving an undoubtedly great result.

22_Iván Silva: “We’ve been quite competitive this weekend and I wanted to complete the season with a positive result. Today’s conditions made things complicated, but I think opting for dry was the right thing to do as shown later on. It’s a pity, because we could have got a great result. The problem was when I reached a pack riding at a slower pace I had to get off the lane to pass them and my wheel dropped. I really regret it, because I wanted to thank Avintia Blusens for trusting me throughout the year by offering them a good result for this finale”.
