“The Superpole Race was kind of ok, then Sam Lowes had a crash and lost control of the bike. He just clipped my front tyre and I also crashed, but I got lucky to be honest. I didn’t feel that good with the tyre, I was spinning a lot. Then in the race this afternoon I got off a good start, I felt pretty good, but I just ran out of grip pretty fast. The front tyre was working too much and then I had a long lap penalty, which I didn’t really agree with. That kind of ruined my race. It was a tough weekend, but we keep working.”
Scott happy with solid results at Donington

“It has been a good weekend. I am a little bit upset with my start in the Superpole race because I cost myself a podium. I had the pace to be there but the Superpole race is quick and the start is important but it was like it was and I managed to come through which was good. Then in race two I knew it was going to be hard, I was also using the SC-0 tyre that didn’t feel so good yesterday. I felt better with the tyre so I was able to ride in a better way and this was good for me mentally to gain confidence with the package and to feel comfortable and relaxed on the bike more. This weekend has been good for me and for the team. Everyone has been working really hard, from the Bonovo action BMW Racing Team, from BMW Motorrad Motorsport, and it’s nice when you can put something together and give back a little bit. I wanted it too hard to have the podium but a step at the time and I hope next time we can make two steps more. For Most, if I have the feeling like this weekend as a start, I would like to be fighting again in the top five there. It’s a track that I like and a track I go well so a podium, without being greedy, is something I want to achieve. We just need to perfect the bike a little bit and it will allow me to do that.”
