15 August 2021 | Austrian GP Race
The fifth race of the 2021 FIM Enel MotoE™️ World Cup got underway on Sunday at the Red Bull Ring, with a total of 5 laps instead of 7, due to wet track conditions.
LCR E-Team rider Kevin Zannoni claimed 9th position at Spielberg on Sunday, his best ever result in the all-electric class so far.
Considering that it was his first time competing at the Austrian circuit on the Ego Corsa, the Italian has shown great progress comparing to the first part of the season and is pleased with his result. Zannoni will be looking for further improvement at the next round.
Unfortunately, teammate Miquel Pons got a track limit penalty of 3 seconds, and finished P12. It would have been a solid P10 finish otherwise. The Spaniard believes he’ll be back in the top positions next time around.
MotoE™️ will be back on track at the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli for the final two races of the 2021 season.
Kevin Zannoni – 9°
It was a great race! I am very very happy. Unfortunately, the race was only 5 laps but I am happy because at the start I was a little rear because I didn’t know what was the condition of the track, in the first 2 corners. After that, I think we did a great race and I could recover some positions. My lap time was fast, I am really very happy with the P9. I’d like to thank my team for all their hard work this weekend.
Miquel Pons – 12°
Well, it was a complicated weekend for us. I struggled with the feeling on the bike. We had a good setting for dry conditions but we couldn’t use it during the race. I was not feeling really comfortable on track today. At the end, we’ve got a track limits penalty and finished P12. I hope can we can be back up there, in the Top 3, where I feel we belong from now on.
