Karel Abraham couldn’t finish the race in Spain because of technical problem on his motorcycle Aprilia ART. The Czech rider performed good start and thanks good ride and some crashes of riders ahead of him, Karel was driving on the tenth position, which he was defending for a couple of laps. Then he was forced to drive to the pit and retire from the race due to above-mentioned and for now not specified fault. The Spaniard Jorge Lorenzo won Grand Prix of Catalonia after excellent ride on his Yamaha factory bike. His greatest rivals Dani Pedrosa and Marc Marquez followed him on Hondas.

"What can I say about it? I can’t find any polite words right now. We could reach a very nice portion of points and we have nothing. Start was good; I was riding in a group with Espargaro and Edwards, where I was fighting for eighth place. Barbera and Pirro were in a quiet safe distance behind us. On the straight the motorbike started to falter, we didn’t find out what was cause for now. Our guys will now work on this and we will see. I’m really disappointed, I was very close to the best result of the season and probably I will remember it for a while."

"We haven’t been so sad in this season yet. In the morning warm up we were trying a small change on the setting and it succeed. The motorbike was working perfectly. As only team we choose the hard type of tyres that turned off as a good choice. After a good start Karel was driving good times and it could be expected that on hard tyres in last laps of the race he could be fighting with Edwards and Espargaro. We are not sure what was the cause of fault of the bike. Probably it was electronics but we will have more exact information tomorrow."
