Even the tragedy did not calm many riders, König wondered after the death of the Spanish young Viñales

The Supersport 300 category, which is run as part of the Superbike World Championship race weekends, is full of ambitious young racers who want to show up and advance to the upper classes.

This corresponds to their often very aggressive racing style, which results in frequent falls. Unfortunately, the mass accident of four riders on Saturday claimed the life of cousin of MotoGP star Maverick Viňales.

“The mood in the paddock was terrible. Unfortunately, it’s a reflection of the well-trodden class, where there are a lot of young and aggressive riders.

Even though the competitors were overwhelmed, the next day it had no effect on the track. “I expected it to teach them and it will calm down a bit on the track. But it didn’t happen. Everyone was already driving like crazy in the warm-up training, also in the race. Again, I wore black overalls from other riders’ bikes. “The driver of the Movisio by MIE team wondered.

He himself became the target of an aggressive attack on Sunday, holding an excellent fourth place in the last round. “I had a devised strategy for the end of the race, I deliberately didn’t get so crowded there. But in the last turn I was shot down by a motivated Brazilian Kawakami. Fortunately I didn’t fall, but I fell in the top ten,” sadened the talented rider.

At the same time, König loves fights on the track, but he often lacks respect among opponents. “Therefore, in order for someone to gain a foothold in the Supersport 300 class, they have to ride the motorcycle aggressively. I understand, I also try to do it sometimes. , “a 19 – year – old native of Prague sighed.
