Rabat takes a well-fought P12 at Termas de Rio Hondo

Tito Rabat (Estrella Galicia 0,0 Marc VDS) staged a fast finish to win a close four rider battle for 12th place in the Gran Premio Motul de la Republica Argentina, with just 1.6s covering the group as the Spaniard fought off Hector Barbera (Reale Avintia Racing) and Red Bull KTM Factory Racing duo Pol Espargaro and Bradley Smith. Rabat is happy with the result, and looks to convert it into some more momentum ready for next time out.

Tito Rabat, P12: “Before the race it had been a difficult weekend with rain in qualifying, but I felt good in the race with a strong rhythm and I’m very happy with this result. I had a great fight for 12th with a group of four riders and was able to finish ahead of them. This is good for my confidence and I'm confident that with some more improvements to my riding style and a better set up for acceleration we can get the results we know we're capable of.”
