Tenth in the championship, 8 points behind Cal Crutchlow, Jonas Folger's current problem consists of getting out of this period marred by multiple incidents during testing or races.
From there, the German driver will be able to rebuild confidence which would undoubtedly allow him to fight in the Top 8.
Will this take place in Japan? Perhaps, but to do this we will have to erase the memory of his Japanese performance last year (falling on his own when accelerating on the 4th lap), and find that of 2015 where he brilliantly concluded the race in the rain in second position behind… Johann Zarco.
We can only wish him!
Jonas Folger : “The Japanese Grand Prix is an important event because it is the home round for Yamaha and that is also the case for many people in our team. Overseas races are always special because we spend a lot of time traveling together during the three or four weeks. We're all getting closer, which means we're enjoying the weekends more. I'm looking forward to Japan and of course the goal is to try to get back to the speed I had until the middle of the season. I'm confident we can resolve the issues and rebuild trust so we can get into the positions we want to be in. I'm optimistic and excited for this weekend and I'm sure we can achieve the goal we set for ourselves. »
