Month: September 2019

Reale Avintia Racing Team ends in a positive way the 13th race of the 2019 MotoGP season held this weekend in the San Marino GP.

During Saturday’s qualifying session, Tito Rabat suffered a mechanical failure in his Ducati and he had to start from 22nd. However, in Sunday’s race he proved his competitive pace and he did a great comeback until a phenomenal 13th position in order to get 3 more points under the belt.

Karel Abraham, who has been sick for the last few days, qualified 21st on Saturday, a position he improved on race time as he performed a comeback to 17th, a meritorious position specially considering that the Czech man didn’t arrive in Misano 100% fit.

The Motorland Aragon Race track in Alcañiz will held next weekend the 14th race of the season right before the MotoGP paddock heads to Thailand where the overseas races will kick off with 4 races in 5 weekends.

“It was a hard weekend as we started last after the issue we had in qualifying. I managed to do a great start, recovering positions and I could do a decent race and achieving 3 points, which makes me feel happy. It’s true that we got in Top 15 but I believe we still need to do a step forward”.

“It was a very hard race since I’ve been feeling sick for the last days and, even if I had antibiotics, I didn’t get much better really. After a few laps, I just could not follow the group, I felt like I had no strength at all. Unfortunately, we have another race next week and I won’t have much time to recover, but I’ll try to get there as fit as possible.”

The Reale Avintia Arizona 77 Italian rider did his best race weekend ever in the Moto3 world championship as he finished 11th in his home race, best scenario he could ask for. Nepa crossed the finish line on 10th position but he got a penalty by exceeding track limits on last lap so race direction decided to drop him one position. However, the Italian managed to finished inside the Top15 for the very first time in his carreer and leaves Misano with 5 points.

It was not an easy race for Nepa who started from 20th and in the first lap he had to avoid a rider who crashed in turn 8 in front of him, so he was forced to run wide, losing many seconds there. However, he managed to recover positions as he took advantage of the crashes ahead of him due to the lack of grip on track and he made it to a small group where he would fight for 11th

The Reale Avintia Arizona 77 is already focused on the next race that will be held at Motorland Aragon in 7 days time.

“It has been a hard weekend since the beginning because I didn’t find good feelings with the bike to push to my 100%. In qualifying we did not do it badly but in the race I had a contact with two other riders and I was last after the first lap but I have tried my best to reach the second group and we have finally achieved our goal of scoring points. Shame about the penalty for exceeding the limits on the last lap that made me lose a position, but I am happy with the performance. I want to thank the team and my family, see you in Aragon.”

This weekend, the Marco Simoncelli World Circuit of Misano will host the third round of the MotoE Championship with two race to dispute, one on Saturday and another on Sunday.
The Avintia Esponsorama Racing riders arrived in Misano with good feelings after a great performance in Austria where they showed that they are capable of fight for the top positions. In Spielberg, Xavier Simeón flew back homer with a brilliant second position that motivates him for the rest of the season. Thanks to this result, the Belgian is in third position in the general now only 12 points away from the leader, which keeps him with realistic options to fight for the MotoE title. Eric Granado, meanwhile, suffered an unfortunate crash when he was strongly dominating a wet race in Spielberg that didn’t allow him to add some important points.


“As happened in the previous races, it will be all new with MotoE but we are very motivated because of the result in Austria since we are proving that we can be competitive both dry and wet. Now we have to continue enjoying the new class that has a different approach to what we knew so far and, as a novelty, this weekend we will have two races so we will have to be aggressive and intelligent so we can fight for the podium and the victories and don’t miss points.”

Eric Granado


“The expectations for the weekend are high after the good performance shown in Austria where I was in the top in the practices and in the race where I crashed and I left Austra with a bittersweet taste but it is clear that we are competitive. This weekend We have two races and it will be very important to set up the bike in the Free Practices and qualify well at the E pole. Unfortunately, I arrive with a shoulder injury after a crash when I was riding a bike two weeks ago. I suffered a dislocation but I am being healed with the doctors and the physio. I don’t know how much it will hurt me but the doctors allowed me to race and I will do my best from start to finish.”

Stefano Nepa is ready for his first race on Italian soil with the Reale Avintia Arizona77 team. Nepa, who in the last races made a step forward, will have an extra motivation as he races in Italy. Despite the good performances, Nepa hasn’t been able to get any points in the World Championship yet but the San Marino GP is the best scenario for him to start adding points in the Moto3 world championship standing.

“This weekend we race in Misano, which is my home race. I am very happy to be back in Misano as it is a track where I have very good memories of when I was racing in PreMoto3 and Moto3 in the CIV. I can’t wait to be back on track and try to improve and continue with the performance shown in Silverstone”.

MotoGP  is back after a three-week break since the Silverstone race on August 25th. Just after that race, MotoGP teams had a private test in the Circuit of Misano in order to prepare this weekend’s GP. In that test, Tito Rabat finished 12th and Karel Abraham, who wa injuried in England, could only ride the first day and came out in 23th place. However, both drivers are optimistic about the Italian event.

“I’m looking forward to race in Misano. Unfortunately, I’m taking antibiotics now. It’s unbelievable, I made the last race injured and now this. I hope to be fit to race at my 100%.”

“We did two days of testing in Misano just after the Silverstone GP and they were positive actually because, among other things, we had a good race pace so I really want to kick off the weekend.”
