The Tech3 Racing Team experienced a solid opening day for the German Grand Prix this weekend. Remy Gardner started well with a strong pace and was able to finish today just 0.399 seconds behind the top riders in the extremely close combined standings of the intermediate class. On the other side, Bo Bendsneyder had to adapt to the demanding circuit aboard the Mistral 610 of the French squad and concluded FP2 only 0.338 seconds behind her team mate, before attacking again in FP3 tomorrow morning 10.55 local time.
Bo Bendsneyder; Position: 24th – Time: 1’25.487 – Laps: 48
“The entire field is incredibly close here regarding the lap times. We struggled a little bit, especially with the front feeling, but step by step we are improving and coming closer. We were already able to reduce the gap this afternoon, but we still need to find a few tenths to arrive in the top 15. Let’s see what tomorrow brings. Hopefully, we can make a good change to have a better feeling with the front in order to gain some time and some positions.”
