The Czech rider Karel Abraham was followed with the bad luck in Sunday´s race in Misano. Technical problems on both bikes caused the heavy crash in the first lap of the race. Problems with the clutch have already occured on the starting grid and the race had to be restarted. The situation repeated again and Abaja finally started to the race with the second bike from the end of the pit lane.
Karel Abraham, rider Cardion AB Motoracing
"This is like a really bad dream. It sounds unbeliveable, but we had technical problems on both bikes today. I tried four times to leave the starting grid and the engine turned off four times. We found out the defect of the small ring on the clutch pistol. In the end I had to start to the race with the second bike from the end of the pit lane. After the race start it seemed to me that the bike slides on the left side. I thought it was due to the new tyres. In the half of the first lap the rear break stopped to work properly and than came the highsider and really heavy crash. The problem was with the small screw which holds the brake tube. The oil from it dripped directly on the rare tyre. I must see doctors now as my right leg is aching. Then we´ll decide what to do."
