#CzechGP: FULL ATTACK AFTER UNLUCKY QUALIFYING

FULL ATTACK AFTER UNLUKCY QUALIFYING

Dominique Aegerter was victim of a ruthless action by an opponent which caused him to start from 21st position on the grid.

After a first day of practice, characterized by changing weather, the summer returned to Brno on Saturday. With hot temperatures at the time of the timed session, in the heat of the battle some riders obviously blew up their fuses.

Kiefer Racing’s Dominique Aegerter was a victim of such a senseless manoeuvre. Still in the initial stage of the 45-minutes long session, the 26-year-old Swiss rider was rough sent into the gravel. Luckily, Agerter escaped harmless whereas his Suter bike was badly damaged. However, the entire technical staff in the German team did a perfect job so that the ambitious rider was able to continue his time hunt with just a few minutes remaining.

#77 Dominique AEGERTER (Kiefer Racing, Suter MMX2), Grid position 21th – 2´03.788 (6/7):

"The situation during today’s qualifying was not easy to bear for me. Just after three laps, Simone Corsi hit my bike and I crashed. At that moment, there was no place for a clean move. To start an action like this just after five minutes during a practice session is just pointless – it was absolutely nonsense. At this point, I would like to thank my crew for their great job to fix the bike within just 15 minutes. First, the bike came back very late and it also was heavy damaged. In any case, thanks to their great efforts and excellent work, I was able to continue the session with three laps before the end. But more than P21 was not possible. I was some tenth of a second slower than this morning but this does not matter anyway. We must look forward, because the weekend is not kicked off yet. It will not be easy to start from 21st spot on the grid, but 20 laps is a long distance. In additiona, the weather will play a role too. At the moment, everything is possible. In any case, our motto is full attack to get the most out of this situation."
