It was a little disappointing first day for Bo Bendsneyder in Assen. In FP2 the Dutchman, after 6 laps had to come in to the box with a technical issue; due to the problem he had to sit out more than half of the session. When he finally got going again he could not get the feeling with the bike and was in 22nd at the end of the session. In the afternoon FP2 was under wet conditions, so there was no possibilty to better his time from FP1
#64 Bo Bendsneyder – P22 – 1.38,247
“It’s been a difficult day. I’m disappointed because it’s not the best way to start the weekend but the good thing is that we took a lot of information and we will work hard. I trust in the team so we will improve tomorrow. I’m looking forward to tomorrow and hopefully will be a much better day”.
