Back on the calendar after a 1-year absence, the Motorland Aragon circuit hosted the 12th round of the championship this weekend.
Despite difficult track conditions, Noah Dettwiler showed that he can be fast on the Aragon track. He took another step forward in his learning process, improving his lap times throughout the weekend and just missing out on Q2. He qualified 20th and got off to a very good start. He quickly overtook his rivals and managed to stay in the right group, just outside the points. He finished in 17th place.
As for Riccardo Rossi, he suffered greatly from the trapped track conditions this weekend, particularly the lack of grip. He crashed heavily in qualifying and had to make do with 23rd place on the grid. He was unable to regain his feeling on the bike and finished in 20th place.

"It's a weekend to forget. I wasn't expecting this at all, especially as we had a very good race in Austria. However, the track here was really tricky and I suffered a lot from the lack of grip. We'll now analyze the data gathered this weekend and work on that for the next race at Misano. I'll be there at home, and I'd really like to get a good result for the team."

"We worked well with the team this weekend. We managed to establish a plan for the weekend and stick to it right to the end. It wasn't easy, though, as the track conditions were really quite special. The most important thing this weekend is that we were able to improve more and more as the sessions went on. We need to continue in this direction over the next few races."
