Bendsneyder making progress in Misano

Bo Bendsneyder and Simone Corsi were a lot faster around the Misano circuit on the second day of the San Marino Grand Prix. Unfortunately, that did not result in a better starting position for the Moto2 race on Sunday. Because of that, there were mixed feelings at NTS RW Racing GP. Both Bendsneyder and Corsi were about a second faster than on the first day. Corsi recorded 1.38.544 in the first qualifying round. Bendsneyder set 1.38.607 in that session. With these lap times the NTS riders finished in eighth and ninth…

Good start Bendsneyder not rewarded

Bo Bendsneyder and Steven Odendaal worked themselves into a sweat on the Silverstone circuit, but that was not rewarded with points. The riders of NTS RW Racing GP finished the Moto2 race of the British Grand Prix as 21st and 25th respectively. They were far from satisfied with that result. The circumstances in England were extreme and tough. It had not been hotter than this – an air temperature of 32 degrees Celsius – the entire weekend. In fact, in the entire season it hadn’t been this hot as during…

Bendsneyder awaits a tough job

Starting from the 21st and 28th place respectively does not make the British Grand Prix easier for Bo Bendsneyder and Steven Odendaal.

Bendsneyder knows where to find improvement

The results at the end of the first day of the British GP were not very good. Yet Bo Bendsneyder and Steven Odendaal are quite optimistic.

Bendsneyder sees opportunities for the Red Bull Ring

It was not an easy qualification in Austria for Bo Bendsneyder and Steven Odendaal. The riders of NTS RW Racing GP start the Moto2 race on Sunday from 23rd and 28th place respectively. Yet they both see opportunities for points on the challenging Red Bull Ring. The goal was to reach Q2, but it just didn’t work. Bendsneyder finished ninth in Q1, Odendaal became fourteenth. Even today the differences were very small. For example, in FP3 26 riders were in the same second. It wasn’t much different in qualifying. Bendsneyder’s…

Bendsneyder cannot cash in on good starting position

It was a great starting position for Bo Bendsneyder: from eighth place on the grid for the Moto2 race of the Czech Grand Prix.

The start was crucial for Bendsneyder and it was precisely that that went terribly wrong. In the first lap the Dutchman dropped back to 22nd place. He was even passed by Odendaal, who had started from 24th. Gradually Bendsneyder was…
