Jonas Folger finished his first MotoGP race in a promising tenth place. The only German driver in MotoGP was correspondingly satisfied after the race. Only with the first half of the race was Folger not entirely happy: “I am satisfied with tenth place in my first MotoGP race. But it could have ended better. Maybe I was too careful in the beginning. It was difficult to gauge how much risk you could take, however. In any case, I was too insecure in the first few laps. Only after the middle of the race with less fuel in the tank did the situation improve and I was able to catch up quickly. “

At the second race in Argentina it is now time to confirm the good performance from the first race. The Argentine Grand Prix starts at 9:00 p.m. on Sunday April 9th.

First points for Cortese, Schrotter and Ottl?

The start of the season was not quite as satisfactory for the German drivers from Moto2 and Moto3. In Moto2, the two teammates Marcel Schrotter and Sandro Cortese ended up outside the points. For the only German Moto3 rider Philipp Ottl, the race in Qatar was over after just six laps. The second race of the season in Argentina can only get better for Cortese, Schrotter and Ottl.

Unlike the opening race in Qatar, the races in Argentina are unfortunately not broadcast on German FreeTV. If you still want to enjoy MotoGP, Moto2 and Moto3, you have to use the official MotoGP Season Pass or the paid broadcaster Eurosport2.
