Unlucky Sprint for Somkiat Chantra in Portugal

IDEMITSU Honda LCR rider Somkiat Chantra was unable to finish the Sprint in Portimão.

• Looking to make a strong comeback, Thai rider Somkiat Chantra was determined to fight for a solid result in the Sprint.
• While pushing to close the gap to his rivals, Chantra had to enter the pits after the second lap due to a clutch issue, which, although not severe, prevented him from completing the race.
• Despite today’s setback, the team is focused on recovering from the situation and aims to make progress tomorrow.

“It’s been a tough day. I had a small problem with the clutch during the Sprint, so I decided to come into the pits. The team is checking and analyzing everything to understand the issue, make a step forward, and come back stronger tomorrow”.
