Chennai, May 8 (UNI) India’s Geoffrey Emmanuel, despite a high-side crash
in qualifying session, went on to complete his debut race in the first round
of the FIM World Championship Junior GP at the famed Circuit do Estoril
in Portugal on Sunday.
Chennai-born 18-year old Geoffrey, the first and lone Indian rider in the
Junior GP, crashed in the very first flying lap of the qualifying session on
Saturday and could not post a time.
However, he was still allowed to race on Sunday because of his times in
free practice sessions, but had to start from the back of the 29-bike grid
and eventually finished 22nd.
Geoffrey, who is sponsored by Fair street Sports, Vidiem, Vamcy Merla
Sports Foundation and Gusto Racing India, had a very good start in the
race.
Despite having just 35 minutes of track time on the bike and nursing
injuries, he did well to stick on to the last bunch in Moto3. After a red
flag due to crashes and a restart of a shortened five-lap race, he moved
up to 19th spot before finishing the race in 22nd position with some
good battles with the seasoned Moto3 riders, reports received here
today said.
Earlier, in Free Practice 1, Geoffrey rode the 2018 bike until the new
engine arrived for the season, and was fitted on to the new chassis.
It meant he could ride only for the last 15 minutes of FP2. His FP3
outing was curtailed to 20 minutes of track time due to rains.
Geoffrey said “I enjoyed riding at the highest level of the junior World
Championship. I have been learning and improving with every lap on
the new bike even though I wasn’t at my best physically. Now, we are
looking forward to round two in Valencia, Spain, later this month. I
would like to thank my sponsors Fairstreet sports, Vidiem, Vamcy
Merla Sports Foundation and Gusto Racing India.”
The second round of the championship, which is a junior class race
event that runs under FIM Moto3 regulations and acts as a Moto3
World Championship feeder class, will be held at the Circuit do
Ricardo Tormo, Valencia, Spain, on May 20-21.
