Simon in a “difficult moment” after struggling once again at Mugello

It’s been a difficult race for Julian Simon at Mugello. He managed to make it through the entire race to the finish line, but classified out of the points.

It’s a difficult season for him so far. On Monday the team is going to stay in Mugello for a test to try and fix the current issues.

Julian Simon (40’26”118 – 17th) “Not a great start. Not only did I not make up places, but I lost a few. I tried to reduce the gap to the second group – I had the pace – but suddenly they gained one second. I had a few problems into the corners. I’m really sorry for the result – it was our home race. It’s a difficult moment. I hope that tomorrow’s test is going to help us to fix the problems”.

Pierluigi Aldrovandi (Simon race engineer) “It’s a strange situation, because what we change does not change the laptimes or the rider’s feeling. If it were purely a echnical problem it would be easier, but I fear it is not just a technical issue – we are absolutely determined to help Simon, who is a rider that must not give up. He has to fight. We hope that tomorrow’s test will help us to understand”.
