A year after his madcap at Misano, the Italian driver faces his home round motivated, and determined to resume his career where he left off.
This weekend represents an important moment for Roman Fenati. A year ago, during the Misano race, he made a crazy move on Stefano Manzi and paid a high price with the consequences that we know. But contrary to what one might believe, the Italian is approaching this meeting rather calmly.
“I no longer think at all about what happened a year ago. I'm trying to think of it as if it's a race like the others, where I'll push hard and work like we did in the last Grands Prix.", he declared to La Gazzetta dello Sport, recognizing however that “it will be more special than the other times. »
Returning to Moto3 with the Snipers team at the start of the year, Fenati took time to become familiar with the category again. Deciding to withdraw from the competition last year, the team's boss and team manager had to argue for him to agree to return: “Stefano Bedon and Cecchini started talking to me again and, although it wasn't easy, they managed to convince me. Not running was not and is not my life. »
Now re-motivated and completely boosted by his victory in Austria, he wants to resume his career where he left off, that is to say in Moto2: “It was devastating [to return to Moto3], I was no longer used to racing that way. I went from adults to being back with the “kids”. Currently, I am in discussions with Gresini, Aspar and MV Agusta to return immediately to the intermediate category. Staying in Moto3 would be useless. I would lose motivation. It's time to move up to the next level, and it's already late. »
