After a very good start to the championship symbolized by a 4th place in Argentina, the rest of the season also went well for Eugene Laverty who was able to show that this was not a result unique.
But since his 6th place in Brno, the Aspar driver has fallen slightly back into rhythm, having to concede three places in the points, but outside the Top 10, during the last three races.
As a result, his goal of finishing in the top ten in the championship is threatened by Hector Barbera, 13 points ahead, and Aleix Espargaro, 2 points behind.
Eugene Laverty : “I'm not happy with the results of the last races, we didn't get enough points and I think we have greater potential. We need to start improving and get back to where we have proven we can be. We have four races left before the end of the season and we want to get as much out of them as we can. The modifications we made to the bike in the last few races have improved its performance level when braking, and Motegi is all about heavy braking; so I think we can be strong there. »
