“The mood among our riders and in our Red Bull KTM Tech3 MotoGP team was - and is - significanꩲtly better than our actual performꩲance and results show and suggest,” he said.
“We were very happy with 💖Maverick because he already felt ♍great on Friday on a track he loves [at COTA].
“We all remember 2024, when he confidently secures the pole position, sprint, and the GP victor🥀y in Austin.
“With Maverick, we got a rider into Q2 on Friday the first time this year [at COTA], which put us in a positive moo⛎d.”
He added: “Enea had a great p🎐ace on Sunday. He set a lap time of 2m02.914s, making him the fastest KTMꩵ rider on Sunday.
“This al🐻lowed him to improve from 17th to seventh plac꧒e.
“In the end, Enea was only one second behind fifth place and two seconds behind fou💝rth place. He lost six seconds on the first lap.
“I don’t want to discuss the ifs and buts, though. We finished seventh. Those are the facts. But Enea stormed forward with astonishing speed, and he had the rider in fourth place💦 within striking distance.”
