The race weekend in Austin was affected on Saturday due to the heavy rain that fell on the Texas track that caused the free practice to be canceled and the qualifying delayed. With a less session of test for all the riders, Sunday dawned a splendid day of races in C.O.T.A. that Tito took advantage of already from the Warm up to put his bike in perfect conditions for the race, after a Saturday in which the rider of the Reale Avintia couldn’t find a good set-up that left him in the twentieth second position of Starting Grid. But Tito is a tireless fighter and managed to cross the finish line in the tenth fifth position achieving his first point of the season.
Karel Abraham was just behind his teammate, he was fighting with Tito all the race. The goals are getting closer and again progressing and improving the previous race.
“ The first points of the year, we have been able to see many things, especially at the end of the race, now we have to wait for Jerez, we have two weeks to strengthen the leg and there we will do even better”
“ I’m a little disappointed. The weekend was pretty good, we were quite strong during the race being very consistent all the laps and at the end we were even faster, practically the whole race I did with Tito, but of course I’m disappointed because I made my best race lap in the last lap but I couldn’t overtake Tito who gets the first point for the team. The next race I will try to do it even better and get points. I’m really disappointed with myself because I tried hard and I couldn’t get it, but I’m sure that in the next race we’ll get it”
