Pablo Nieto, Team Manager of Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team, didn’t hide his satisfaction with the results obtained by the team at the Argentina Grand Prix, especially highlighting Franco Morbidelli’s return to podium positions.
‘It was a very tough race. We took a risk on the grid by using the soft tire. We knew that all Ducatis were using the medium, but the race was fantastic, Franco was very fast and finally we are back on the podium,’ stated Nieto, revealing the strategy that contributed to the Italian rider’s success.
The team chief was particularly happy about Morbidelli’s result: ‘I’m very happy for him because I know he went through difficult times.’
‘We decided to use the soft tire also for Fabio, we knew that at the end of the race it would be very difficult, but we made a good start and he finished in the Top5. It’s a very good result, since he didn’t do any winter testing, in Qatar the plan is to be at 100%,’ concluded Nieto, showing satisfaction with the performance of both riders and already having perspectives for the next stage of the championship.
