On the first day of the Grand Prix of Austria it was a bit of a search for Bo Bendsneyder and Dominique Aegerter. Finding the right way, with the NTS frame and new front tire working well on the Red Bull Ring, is a challenge for both NTS RW Racing GP and both riders. What works and what doesn’t, what adjustments are improvements, what the rider can do with the settings and how he feels with the bike, is a matter of trying out on every circuit. With many variable…

A razor-sharp start and an excellent first lap could not prevent Bo Bendsneyder and Dominique Aegerter from finishing without points in the Moto2 race of the Czech GP. Bendsneyder finished 18th, Aegerter 21st. That was not the result that NTS RW Racing GP had hoped for, but the race did clarify a number of things that the team will have to work on. The first lap was often Bo Bendsneyder’s achilles heel, but in Brno he moved from seventeenth place on the grid to twelfth in the first lap. Unfortunately…

In conditions that were far from ideal, Bo Bendsneyder and Dominique Aegerter qualified for the Czech GP on the sixth and eighth row respectively. Bendsneyder qualified for Q2 by setting the second fastest time in Q1. Aegerter finished ninth in that first round. In Q1 it was important to set a sharp time right away, as long as the Moto2 could still take advantage of the MotoGP rubber at the Brno circuit. Bendsneyder set a time of 2.02.230 in his second lap and thus secured second place. The first four…

The Andalusian Grand Prix was a lonely race for Bo Bendsneyder. Not only because he was the only rider of NTS RW Racing GP, after Jesko Raffin had to sign out with signs of overheating. The race itself was also a somewhat lonely affair for Bendsneyder, who crossed the finish line in nineteenth. The heat in Jerez once again was cruel to both man and machine. At the end of the warm-up, Jesko Raffin suffered from overheating. On the advice of the medical staff, NTS RW Racing GP therefore decided…

There was reason for optimism in the pit box of NTS RW Racing GP on the second day of the GP of Andalusia.

With last weekend’s information, NTS RW Racing GP hoped to have found a solution to make Bo Bendsneyder and Jesko Raffin feel more comfortable. However, on the first day of the Andalusian Grand Prix it turned out to be the wrong way. Both riders were no faster on the Jerez circuit, where it is extremely hot again. The entire team is working hard to find a solution within the existing package. The data from last weekend’s race was viewed and explored from all sides. Based on that, the machines of…

After Bo Bendsneyder’s eleventh place in Qatar, NTS RW Racing GP had imagined the restart of the 2020 season differently. Bo Bendsneyder and Jesko Raffin struggled in the scorching conditions at the Jerez circuit. Both ended the GP of Spain without points: Bendsneyder crashed in lap 8, Raffin crossed the finish line in 21st. It was already clear that it would be a difficult race. The heat in southern Spain at this time of year is not in favour of the NTS. Because normally Moto2 is never in Jerez in…

In terms of lap times, Bo Bendsneyder in particular really took a step on the second day of the Spanish Grand Prix. Unfortunately, that didn’t make much difference to the position. The Dutchman qualified with 1.42.322 in 22nd place for Sunday’s Moto2 race. Jesko Raffin will start the race in Jerez from 29th place. Both riders of NTS RW Racing GP didn’t make it into Q2, making getting points a challenge in tomorrow’s race. Bendsneyder just fell short for the second qualifying round. His Q1 time would in Q2 have…

On the first official day of the Spanish Grand Prix, the heat continued to play tricks on NTS RW Racing GP. Bo Bendsneyder and Jesko Raffin were faster than Wednesday in the test, and the differences with the top narrowed slightly, but it was not enough. It was baking hot again in Jerez, with an asphalt temperature of well above 50 degrees Celsius. Given the time of qualifying tomorrow, therefore, the result in the second free practice, this afternoon, was most important. Bendsneyder finished in 24th place with 1.43.405, Raffin…
