Karel Abraham

“I´m really angry, because just in the moment we had checked up all problems I crashed out. The morning session had been really bad for us and also first afternoon ride didn´t go well. After first pit we suffered some technical problems with front brake. We have found good set up after second pit stop, but I rode on hard tyre, so it still wasn´t perfect. Finally in the last ride on softer tyre I started to be faster, but then I hit in the corner the track by my foot or probably footrest and my bike slide out of track. It happens sometimes, but today it happened in the worst moment. Fifteenth position is really bad, because even I´m able to make good start, I will lose contact with riders which I want to fight with.”
