Öncü defies extreme Australian MotoGP™ Grand Prix conditions for Moto3 victory
Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale.
The predicted cold and stormy climate on Sunday at Phillip Island forced cancellation of the MotoGP Sprint but not before Red Bull KTM Ajo’s Deniz Öncü had braved the conditions for his third Moto3 victory of the season with the KTM RC4.
- Red Bull KTM Factory Racing wrap another fiercely competitive MotoGP weekend with the pitbox doors closed on Sunday: chilly temperatures, strong winds and showers wash out the round sixteen Sprint
- The team will reflect on the 4th and 7th positions earned by Brad Binder and Jack Miller respectively through a dry and warmer GP distance on Saturday and with Binder’s P2 in qualification.
- Deniz Öncü splashes to a well-deserved Moto3 victory with a last lap move on his Red Bull KTM Ajo RC4. The result is the 200th GP podium for the team. The first event of the day is the only full race of the Sunday program.
- The heat and humidity of the Chang International Circuit awaits for round seventeen next weekend and the last fixture of the latest MotoGP triple header
Wild weather conditions marked the final day of the Australian Grand Prix. Strong winds, showers and low temperatures prevented the MotoGP Sprint from starting at round sixteen of the season. Red Bull KTM Factory Racing had already finished 4th and 7th in the full GP distance on Saturday (the forecast led to the organizers swapping the races) but Sunday’s stage meant a very different set of circumstances compared to the bright conditions witnessed through the previous 48 hours. After Saturday’s events Binder and Miller are 4th and 9th in the world championship standings. Red Bull KTM Factory Racing are the 4th best team in the rankings (from a total of 11) and KTM are 2nd in the Constructors table.
Jack Miller: “We had good weather for the last two days but full respect to the fans – some of the best in the world – for coming out here today. I’m sorry we did not get to race for them. I think we should have done some laps. It’s windy but you have to adapt to the conditions. Hopefully next year.”
Brad Binder: “In warm-up this morning there was quite a lot of wind, but nothing like what we had around the time for the Sprint. It was clearly a bit sketchy so I think the guys made the right decision to swap the races; it was a good move. A pity not to be able to race today but we all know safety comes first.” Francesco Guidotti, Red Bull KTM Team Manager: “Unfortunately we knew since yesterday that the conditions would get worse and that’s why it was good to have the GP on Saturday. We are so sorry for the fans and it was a shame for Jack, but safety must come first and the Moto2 race was red-flagged for the wind and I think it was the right decision for the MotoGP Sprint.”
