The Avintia Esponsorama Moto3 finished the Gran Premio d’Italia Oakley after a very hard and complicated weekend for the whole motorcycling family after the passing of Jason Dupasquier.
Niccolò Antonelli finished in 13th position. The Italian rider has been fighting throughout the race in the front group and finally crossed the finish line less than a second and a half behind the leader.
Carlos Tatay crashed on the first lap and had to retire. The Valencian rider was involved in an incident when Kofler went to the ground and Tatay could do nothing to avoid colliding with the bike, causing a fracture in his foot.
From Avintia Esponsorama, we want to send our condolences to the family, team, and friends of Jason Dupasquier. Rest in peace.
Niccolò Antonelli | P13
“I can’t be happy with this race, I didn’t feel good with the bike, but I could have done more. I have to try to improve because this weekend was difficult, also because of the passing of Dupasquier, and in the end everything takes a back seat. Maybe it also determined the concentration. But anyway, now we go to Barcelona and for sure it will be a different weekend.”
Carlos Tatay | DNF
“I felt very comfortable on the bike, but unfortunately we were involved in a crash and I couldn’t do anything to avoid crashing. I’ll try to recover so I can be ready for Barcelona. Anyway, today all my thoughts are with Jason’s family, team and friends.”
