Tech3 Racing rider Bo Bendsneyder showed her home fans her best ever Moto2 race today. The local heroine did an incredible strong second half of the Dutch Grand Prix, making up one position by another while moving from P24 on the grid to P14, which would have meant her first ever intermediate class points. Although, the Moto2 rookie had to accept a 1.4 seconds penalty after swinging off the track at the beginning of the race.
Bo Bendsneyder; Position: 17th – Championship: 29th – Points: –
“In the beginning it was really tough because the rear was sliding from the first laps on. To do the 39’ low, I had to push a lot and also physically it was very hard to control the bike. But I knew that my opponents would have the same struggle with losing grip in the end and I took the advantage to keep my pace. Step by step I overtook them and finally, I arrived in P14. Just with the penalty we miss out on the points again, but we showed that we can be there. Thanks to my gals!”
