Jordi Torres finished 15th and got his 1 poin on the Moto2 Championship. Replacing the injured Tech 3 Racing regular Xavier Simeon, Torres was locked in an exciting battle with Smith in the early stages and he rode aggressively to put himself in a position to score the first World Championship points of his career.
Torres said, “I'd said before the race that I have to make an aggressive start to stay with the fast guys because I am not used to competing in the World Championship. The first corners were quite tricky and a few riders touched me and I was afraid I was going to crash out. I just decided to fight as hard as possible and I really enjoyed it. "
He continue, "After four laps the tyres started to drop and I had some problems to adapt to this situation, as I'm not used to it from the Spanish Championship. At the beginning it was a bit easier to stay with the guys like Smith, de Angelis and Corti because what I lost on the straight because of my weight I could recover it in the braking zone where I was aggressive. But it got more difficult as the grip continued to drop and I risked crashing out a few times, so I decided to slow down a little bit and finish the race. "
"I'm completely happy with the result because I wanted to be in the points but I am very happy with the work we did during the weekend. The Tech 3 Team is very professional and I learned a lot. I really enjoyed this experience and I want to stay a big thanks to the Team for this opportunity.” said Torres again.
