Valencia - RACE 2

Jacub Smrz had a very bad start in Race 2 loosing seven positions in the first corners and another one during the second lap. The remaining length of the race was spent trying catch the front group but a problem with the front forks saw him gain no higher than 14th place, finishing just a 0.1 of a second from Jonaathan Rea.

On the other side, a good start from Brendan Roberts, enabled him to gain several positions on the first lap seeing him sitting in 12th place, but the consequences of the crash in race 1 and physical weakness slowed him down finishing the race 0.8 off Parkes in 18th place.

The next race is Assen circuit, where the team hope to get a good result.
 
Valencia - RACE 1

Race 1 to forget for Guandalini team caused by the crash of both pilots. During the first lap, Brendan Roberts was forced on the gravel due to Rea’s crash, loosing precious time to re-join the race. As back on the track Brendan starts riding constantly on 1.35.6 gaining positions from last to the group of ten pilots preceding him. On lap 12 his recovery was stopped on turn 8 by a high side. Pilot was taken in the medical centre in an ambulance and after a check up only few minor injuries were diagnosed and that he would be ok to ride in the second race. Jacub Smrz was riding in 13th position at the end of the first lap and after being passed by Max Biaggi. Trying not to loose distance from the proceeding pilots a low side caused by lost of grip in the front stopped his race.
