Twentieth and twenty-third, grid positions to be archived, from which to restart strongly in the Moto3 class French Grand Prix. Both Nicola Carraro and Stefano Nepa, assisted by Level Up-MTA, are called to react on Sunday, for a race that wants them to be protagonists again and further competitive beyond what they have already demonstrated. Nico10 and The Panther boast speed, experience and talent, qualities that have allowed them to move the rankings more often than not, to finish in the top ten and even more. The set objective is to attack rivals and stopwatches as much as possible, enhancing their own work and the work of the team.
Alessandro Tonucci, Team Manager: “Overall performance, today proved to be the toughest qualifying of 2022 to date. Having admitted this, let’s do everything but give up, starting from what we did well at Le Mans. I start with Nicola Carraro, author of an excellent job and a nice session, spent lapping on a free track, with times found independently. Our rookie, despite a crash suffered in the decisive session, resumed action, showing the desire to improve in the construction of his French Grand Prix. Something interesting might come out of it. On the contrary, I am very sorry to see Stefano Nepa so behind, for very specific reasons: experience and speed are on his side and renowned, but not exploited here at Bugatti. Don’t exploit them until Saturday, because the intention is to get back on top, bringing out the great potential of the rider, team and bike.”
#10 Nicola Carraro, P20: “I crashed on the third lap of Q1, while I was improving my personal references. It’s a shame, because I will be forced to start from behind in the French Grand Prix, from which I would like to get the most possible. The plan is to sprint promptly, recovering position after position. I will do my best to succeed.”
#82 Stefano Nepa, P23: “Difficult Saturday, despite the fact that everything possible was done to improve our qualifying position. We didn’t manage to go beyond the twenty-third time, but that’s not the end of it: I’m confident ahead of the race, knowing that we also have numerous positive aspects to exploit in our favor.”
