After a short three-week break, Moto2 and the QJMOTOR Gresini team return to the track near Assen. A circuit as fast as it is technical which will directly precede the German Grand Prix at the Sachsenring, before resuming a few weeks of vacation imposed by the summer break.
Since the Italian Grand Prix at Mugello (June 2), Manuel Gonzalez has not been idle and has focused on his preparation for the two upcoming races. On the sidelines of this weekend, the Spaniard admits to having trained quite hard since his last appearance on the track, during official Moto2 tests.
He therefore arrives at Assen with plenty of confidence, and clear objectives: to compete for the podium and try to finally achieve a victory.
“After a three-week break, during which not a day went by without me training hard, we arrived in Assen, says Manuel Gonzalez. It's the circuit where I raced my first race in the Moto2 world championship, so it's always very special for me to return there.
Then we will head towards the Sachsenring. It's also a track that I really like, and where I've had some great races, He continues. I can't wait to get back on my bike and continue the work we are doing with the team: we are very strong and the goal is to continue improving to be able to constantly fight for the podium and why not, to win . »
Building on a solid first part of the season, during which he was constantly in the leading pack, Manuel Gonzalez has often fought for big points, like the fifth place in the championship which he is defending. However, he has still not managed to find the path to victory, which is not the case for each of the drivers ahead of him in the standings.
