The Reale Avintia Racing Team riders face this weekend in Motegi (Japan) the first out of three races of the overseas before heading to Australia and Malaysia before the season comes to an end in Valencia by November time.

Tito Rabat and Karel Abraham arrive in Japan eager to forget the poor balance they got back in Thailand where they could not go any further tan 17th and 19th respectively.

“We are in Motegi, a track that I like. The Ducati should suit it so hopefully we can take benefit from it as I get here excited, happy and really looking forward to start.”

“This is a track that I really like, here I got my first podium in Moto2 so I have good memories here. It’s a shame that it seems like we won’t have great weather this weekend though.”

The Thai GP is done and dusted for the Reale Avintia Racing Team riders that suffered more than expected in the challenging Asian race and didn’t manage to get in points positions.

On one hand, Tito Rabat suffered with the set up of the bike, he arrived a few seconds from the top15 and couldn’t go any further than 17th. On the other hand, Karel Abraham suffered with the heat and humidity of Buriram and had his own fight with Jorge Lorenzo but with no final reward. The next race will be hold in Japan in two weeks time.

“It was a difficult weekend. We suffered to find a good setup for the bike and the hard conditions of the race track did not help. We will try to do better in Japan.”

“It was a very difficult weekend as we expected. I’ve been riding in a group with Lorenzo and Shyarin, like 10 seconds behind Tito. Unfortunately, there wasn’t many crashes and that di not help us. I was with Lorenzo for most of the race until I had a problem with the bike, I had to release the throttle and then he went away and I was not able to catch him again even if I was recovering. I finished 19th but is has been a hard one, with a lot of heat and I ended with no energy.”

The Reale Avintia Arizona 77’s Italian rider crossed the finish line in a brilliant 8th position in ThaiGP, achieving then his best result in the moto3 world championship as he improved the 11th from Misano.

Nepa rode most of the race with the front group inside the Top15 performing in a high level all race long. From the second part of the race on, the front riders fastened the pace and the group broke. Nepa found himself in a small group where he fought for Top10 positions until last lap.

The Italian rider will travel to the Japanese GP (October 18-20th) with high motivation to kick off three race weekends in a row.

“It’s been a very positive weekend, specially the race as it was the most beautiful so far. It was a hard race because of the heat and the conditions. Riding in such a big group is very difficult to manage it all but I keep strong there. Shame about a contact I had at mid race that make me lose the front guys but I’m very happy with the performance, I did not expect be on first group. Thanks to the team that always help me and never surrender. Now its time to keep in this way and be focused for Japanese GP. Thanks to the sponsor, to my family and all who help me”.

The motorcycling championship will hold the 15th round of the calendar this weekend in the Chang International Circuit (Thailand), the first out of four races that will be held during this year’s overseas races.

This will be the second time that MotoGP visits the Chang racetrack after its debut last year. The track has a length of 4.554km, 12 turns (5 to left and 7 to the right) and two long straights. It is placed 400km away from the capital of the country, Bangkok, really close to Buriram city.

The Moto3 race is set to 22 laps (100.2km) under high temperatures and humidity. The Reale Avintia Racing Team riders arrive motivated and excited to be back on the Thai track. Tito Rabat, on the one hand, has the aim to be back on the points, as he did in the last few races. Karel Abraham, on the other hand, has already been training regularly after his injury and his illness so he arrives in good shape in a circuit he likes.

“I’m really excited to get the Thai GP started. It is a very fast track, full of long straights for Moto3, so the slipstream will be very important here. I’m really excited to start and I can’t wait to start working.”

“The Buriram circuit is very beautiful, I had the chance to race here there first time that MotoGP arrived in this place last year. As usually, we’ll try our best.”
