Grand Prix de España: Fenati second in the race and in the Championship

An amazing Romano Fenati plays and has fun in the group ahead until the end and passed the highest step of the podium just at the last corner to Canet, the Spanish rider beaten in Texas. If the American race was not enough to confirm it, the rider from Ascoli expressed something important today: he is the Italian rider in the best physical and mental condition and without thinking about the Championship title (it's too early at the moment) he's the only one able to "bother" the Spanish riders. Jules Danilo started too behind on the grid to stay among the protagonists of the race but recovered 13 positions and crossed the finishing line twelfth. If only he hadn't wrong the qualifying yesterday, the French rider would have been in the group ahead. Returned.

Romano Fenati: "At the beginning of the race I tried to go ahead and get a gap with the other riders but the rhythm was too fast and it was not possible. I am happy, this second place is important for me, for my team and for the Championship. It was a great fight, full of overtakes and I had a lot of fun. I thank my team as we worked well and know we stay focused on Le Mans. We need to continue to work well as we did until now".

Jules Danilo: "I am happy for this race! The feeling with the bike was good, the only mistake of the weekend was to have done a mistake in the qualifying. Starting from the 25th position on the grid was not easy, but I started well and, in the first two laps, I tried to overtake most of the riders. The rhythm ahead was really fast and I couldn't stay with the front group but we are happy of the race and of the feeling with the bike".
