The weekend started strong in Friday’s practice sessions with Stefan taking a very mature approach to the weekend. He took his time to continue to adjust to the bike and build his speed gradually. He would end the day 20th and ready for qualifying.
Stefan again continued to improve and impress the team on Saturday as his times were getting faster and he would qualify in 18th place.
Stefan was riding strong and battling for the last few remaining points in the race. He looked like he would be able to start the season by securing his first ever world championship points. Unfortunately it wasn’t to be as on lap six his bike suffered a technical failure and he was forced to call it quits.
The team now know what the problem was and is confident it will be fixed for round two in Thailand.
Stefan Hill:
“Although there was a technical error and I couldn’t finish the race I felt there’s loads of positives to take out the weekend! I went a lot faster than I had previously on the new triumph. I feel like I’ve made big improvements even though I didn’t finish the race but know we will be back stronger and better for Thailand in two weeks time.”
