SBK Vallelunga: up and down for Jakub Smrz

Black and whita day at Vallelunga for Jakub Smrz. The Czech rider scored an excellent eleventh position in race-1, but later in race-2 crashed at the second lap and his race ended.

“In race-1 I made a rather good race.” – said Jakub Smrz. – “I had a good start, but the accident between Corser and  Neukirchner made a lot of confusion in the group behind the leaders and I finished at the end of the group. I recovered lap by lap, despite the bike suffered an excess of motor-brake and a cluth not perfect, and I arrived at the shoulder of Iannuzzo at the last lap, but I’m not able to pass him and we finished side by side, and I was behind for one tenth. For race-2 the guys made some change and the bike was good, but I had a bad start and pushing to recover I lost the front wheel at Soratte corner and I crashed. I am really unhappy, also because the bike has been badly damaged and with the Magny Cours round so close it’s a big problem.”
