Tito Rabat qualifies 20th in Texas

Team Estrella Galicia 0,0 Marc VDS rider Tito Rabat will start from 20th position in his first MotoGP race at the 5.5 km Circuit of the Americas in Texas.

The 20-turn COTA circuit is one of the most demanding on the calendar and MotoGP rookie Rabat continued to struggle in maximising rear grip under acceleration.

Tito Rabat: 20th – 2’06.562
“I am improving with every session and I go faster but the main problem is putting power onto the track and keeping stability on the bike under acceleration. In the chicanes and change of direction I feel good. But I lose time when I open the throttle and there are four corners like this and I don’t want to push harder and risk a crash for nothing. I can see what the other riders are doing and I need some help from the set-up and the bike to be faster.”
