Red Bull KTM teammate Shaun Simpson had two excellent starts and stayed with
the front runners for the first half of both races. He finished ninth in the first race
and was third across the line in the second, garnering 32 championship points for
fifth overall in the GP. While Shaun was pleased to get the points he did admit
that it had been tough adjusting to the extremely hot weather.
"It was very
different riding here," Simpson said. "The weather was hot, the
track was very fast and the long rips in the start straight made it difficult to get
a good start. I felt tired after the first 15 minutes in the first moto but the
second was better and I had a better rhythm."
