Sitting out the race last season due to injury, the ‘Maniac’ is back this year and wants to get a solid result in a difficult season: “It’s a very difficult season for us. I hope in these last six races we improve the performance a bit. It’s very difficult for me to talk about the situation, we always try our best, in the garage and on track – and me at home, in the gym I try every day to improve. But it’s difficult at the moment, the feeling with the bike for me, and I struggle a lot. But I

VR46 Master Camp talent take to the flat track
