Aleix Espargaro takes 9th to be first open at the Italian GP

The NGM Forward Racing Team closed once as again as first open on the fast and demanding Mugello track. As we saw in the weekend, it was not an easy race for Aleix Espargaro and Colin Edwards who finished respectively in 9th and 15th positions.

With this result, Aleix maintains the seventh position in the championship with 44 points, while Forward is 4th in the Constructor classification after the three Manufactures (Honda, Yamaha and Ducati).

Starting from the 4th row, lap by lap Aleix Espargaro recovered some positions and despite struggling during the whole race with the traction control, he succeeded to maintain his position and finish 9th.

“It was a difficult race. We struggled the whole weekend with the electronics control and today in particular I had a problem with the traction control. I couldn’t push and control the bike as I wanted so I tried to maintain the calm and get the best possible result. We will keep on working and I hope that we can make a step forward for the next race in Catalunya, my home GP.”
