The riders of the Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team cross the finishing line in tenth and twelfth position

Chemnitz (Germany), July 6th 2024 - Saturday Sprint at the German GP with the riders of the Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team just outside the points zone. Marco Bezzecchi and Fabio Di Giannantonio in fact sign the tenth and twelfth place under the checkered flag.

Starting from P12 on the Ducati Desmosedici GP and able to maintain the position at the first corner, thanks to a good pace and a solid finish, Marco recovers until reaching the Top10.

Good race, despite the pain in his right collarbone, a consequence of yesterday's crash in the afternoon Practice, for Fabio who, from eighth on the grid, is in P15 after the start. A positive finish for him too and a reduced gap compared to the group in front.

Marco Bezzecchi - 72

I didn't expect to be happy with a tenth place, but honestly I think yesterday was the worst day of the year. I was really sad, while today we made some improvements. In the race I started well, strong, I perhaps lost a little too much time with Miller, we had a good fight and I finished with a pace of 21.7. In terms of the bike we went back to the setting of Jerez, I had a good feeling, we preferred not to make too big changes. I'm happy, now let's go back to the data and have a good race tomorrow.

Fabio Di Giannantonio - 49

I've been suffering since yesterday's crash, my collarbone hurts a lot, but I'm doing a great job with Christian, the Team's physiotherapist, and we managed to get back on the bike. This morning I was painful, I didn't ride much in the Practices, in qualifying I only made one attempt. Then in the race, we made a small mistake in the setting, it was a change that we couldn't try. There was a mix of things that weren't perfect and I didn't start well. Tomorrow we'll take a step back on the setting, despite everything I'll be on the track for the GP and this is important.
