Having had a more difficult qualifying in France, the German nevertheless recovered to yet another solid top ten as he settles into life in the premier class - and is now excited to get back on track at legendary Mugello, a track that should suit the Monster Yamaha Tech 3 machine.
Jonas Folger: “I am looking forward to racing at the legendary Mugello circuit because of the track that it is and also because we did a great job in Le Mans. Unfortunately, my qualifying result in France on Saturday wasn’t as high up the grid as what I had hoped for, so I have to try to be more confident over the weekend in Mugello. I am fully determined and I will do my best to fight nearer to the front and get a better position on Sunday. Mugello is a great track and the Yamaha suits the nature of the circuit well, so I am really excited and confident about the race in Italy.”
