Xavier Simeon rode hard in qualifying 20the consumption of the bike well. Everything worked well and we showed that we have the potential to win here. The championship is still open and we will fight at the Bol d’Or to get back to the lead.”Xavier Siméon; “I am obviously very disappointed. Once again, the team did a very good job, which allowed us to be very competitive in the race, in a position we didn’t expect. Then there were some race events that worked against us this time. I’m really sorry for the team who gave 200% as usual. It’s a shame to finish the race with this result. We had all the elements in hand to fight for victory.”Mans for us. We started the race very well and then my crash disrupted our progress. But after that, we started off really well and the podium was within our reach. Xavier Sylvain Guintoli; “It was the opposite of Le was really unlucky. It’s a racing event, not his mistake. The bike was badly damaged in that second crash and we lost a lot of time. Overall I think we showed determination and good pace in the second part of the race. The positions are getting closer in the championship. This will make for an interesting race at the Bol d’Or.”Gregg Black; “There was a small gap between us and the two leading bikes in practice. But our team worked well until the last minute, so I was efficient right away in the race. It was surprising to see how much we had improved. The conditions were difficult for everyone, but everything worked very well for us. Maybe too well. When a victory is in your grasp, it’s very hard to let your chance go. This time we paid the consequences. It’s a lesson to remember.”The next race of the season will take place on the Paul Ricard circuit in Castellet, in France for the 84th edition of the Bol d’Or on the 18th and 19th of September, where a potential 65 points are up for grabs.“There were two crashes but we could also see the performance of our team” – Yohei KatoEWC 2021
