The hardest weekend of his career. König showed top performances in Jerez, all overshadowed by tragedy

Vaclav Duska jr.

Although he started from the top ten, he was very often seen. On Saturday, he won eleven places in the first round, at one point he was sixth. He even got to second place on Sunday, holding a great fourth place in the last lap, but eventually lost.

“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 motorized Brazilian Kawakami. Fortunately, I didn’t fall, but I fell behind the top ten. Otherwise, I planned to attack the box from the slipstream, which would work out, “König saddened.

Tragedy! Fifteen-year-old cousin Maverick Viňales did not survive the accident at the World Supersport Championship

The Czech driver from the Movisio team would like to show MIE in Spain that his third place in Most was not a coincidence. He fought the best on the track, his maneuvers were thoughtful. But there were a number of severe falls to be seen, one of which ended tragically after the mass crash. König’s efforts were in vain.

“Everyone was overwhelmed, done. I expected it to teach them and it will calm down a bit on the track. But it didn’t happen. Already in the warm-up, everyone rode without a head, in the race as well. Again, I wore a jumpsuit black from the wheels of other riders. It’s really terrible sometimes, “added König, who otherwise likes fights and enjoys them.

“Therefore, in order for someone to gain a foothold in the Supersport 300 class, they must ride aggressively on a motorcycle. I see, I also try to do that sometimes. But it is necessary to have at least a basic respect for others and not to get inside. Then, unfortunately, it ends tragically, “sighed the Prague rider, who did not know Dean Bert Viñales very well.” But we greeted each other in Jerez for the first time, otherwise we never talked. He came from a famous motorcycle family. “

Königa is now waiting for the last race in Portugal this year. There he wants to attack the podium again and improve his current fifteenth place in the overall standings. “In Spain, we have shown that I have one of the best prepared bikes in the starting field. I want to thank the team and the mechanics for that. I believe that I will look at the box in Portugal, “added König, who was praised by the team manager Miloš Čihák:” He showed two top races. Both were decided by someone other than Oliver. “
