NEW OPPORTUNITY FOR CARLOS TATAY IN THE GRAND PRIX OF ANDALUSIA

Carlos Tatay and Reale Avintia Moto3 will contest the third race of the season at the Jerez-Angel Nieto Circuit. After the unfortunate weekend before, Tatay will face the Gran Premio de Andalucia with the aim of recovering from the difficult second round of the season for the category.

The Valencian rider of the Reale Avintia Moto3 had an unfortunate Grand Prix of Spain, when in the first curve he was hit by an opponent and could not do anything to avoid a fall that forced him to abandon. Tatay will have another opportunity this weekend to achieve a good result that will help him to recover his sensations and thus score the first points of the season.

The Andalusian Grand Prix will start next Friday, when the first two free practices will take place. The Reale Avintia Moto3 is facing a new weekend of competition which it hopes will conclude with a positive result for the whole team.

“I’m very motivated to race again in Jerez. We didn’t restart the season in the way we wanted, but we are looking forward to this Andalusian Grand Prix to do well and be in the positions the team deserves. We are ready.”

Avintia Esponsorama Moto3 and Avintia VR46 Academy have finished the Gran Premio Motul de la Comunitat Valenciana qualifying, the last of the season, at the Circuit Ricardo Tormo.

Niccolò Antonelli will start from 9th position. The Italian rider had to participate in Q1 because his best time in free practice was cancelled for exceeding the track limits. In Q2, Antonelli set a time of 1:39.149, which will allow him to start from the third row of the grid.

Carlos Tatay got direct access to Q2 by being 5th in the combined free practice times. The Valencian rider, with a time of 1:39.317, will start from 11th position in his home Grand Prix.

Tomorrow at 11:00 the Gran Premio Motul de la Comunitat Valenciana race will start, where Antonelli and Tatay will try to end the season with a good result for the team.

Niccolò Antonelli | 1'39.149 | P9

“It was a pretty good day for us despite the complications we had in FP3 with the cancellation of our best time. It could have gone a bit better, but it was still positive. We will try to have a good race tomorrow.”

Carlos Tatay | 1'39.317 | P11

“A very positive day, the feelings have been very good. Tomorrow we are expecting a very hard fought race with a big group. We will enjoy it as much as possible, we will try to make a good start and get to the front to get a good result.”
