Two top-10s for Adam Sterry in Indonesia
By Press Release on 8th Jul 18
F&H Racings Adam Sterry took his Kawasaki KX250F to two top-10 finishes at the Asian GP, Semarang in Indonesia.
A massive crowd saw the Welshman use Kawasaki power to streak out of the gate in both GP motos despite a disadvantageous gate after a disappointing qualification at the fast hardpack track.
A single mistake as the rear wheel slid out on the polished surface late in the first moto cost him the sixth place which he had held since the opening lap.
He quickly remounted but had lost two positions in the incident and took eighth at the chequered flag. Another superb opening lap in race two saw him again as high as sixth at one stage but a mistake cost him several places and he eventually finished tenth.
Adam Sterry: We already made progress last weekend and they did a good job with the track here. I didnt felt so great on Saturday and didnt ride so well but I was much better today.
I held sixth place for most of the first race before I lost two positions when I made a mistake three laps from the end but it was still a solid race. My first lap was again really good in race two but then I made a small mistake and that put me a long way back.
Two top tens was the goal this weekend and thats what we achieved so Im happy to be flying home safe from the two Indonesian rounds as well now visit some of my favourite tracks like Loket.
Im excited about that, and the entire team will keep working together to achieve even better results.
