ANDRÉ PIRES 13TH AND CARDELÚS CRASHES IN THE CATALAN GRAND PRIX

Avintia Esponsorama Racing closed the Gran Premi Monster Energy de Catalunya after a difficult Sunday for Xavi Cardelús and with André Pires finishing in the points.

The Andorran rider, who had a good pace throughout the weekend, was confident of a good result. Unfortunately, Cardelús crashed out in the early stages of the race.

André Pires was able to cross the finish line in 13th position, finishing in the points zone for the third consecutive race.

The fourth round of the MotoE Cup calendar will take place in three weeks at the mythical Assen circuit.

“It was a shame and I’m very frustrated that I couldn’t complete the race and didn’t even have a chance to try. I’m going through a difficult time for me, and I’m convinced that it can’t get any worse. We’ll keep working to make it better for the next races.”

“I’m happy to have finished the race, but at the same time frustrated because I still can’t go fast. We are learning and trying to change what is going wrong. The important thing is to keep working to change things in the next races. We managed to score points, great work from the team who always help me.”
