ESMEE’S RACE REVIEW

“It’s been a tough weekend managing the various issues we’ve had but I’m very pleased with how hard we fought. Thanks to the team for their efforts as we knuckled down in the races and pushed as hard as we could. There’s always opportunities to continue learning and I think we’ve maximised those this weekend and I’m certain that will put us in good stead for the rest of the season. Bring on Assen in two weeks time!”
