Roulstone Scores Points in Challenging Buriram Conditions 🌧️
Buriram, Thailand - Jacob Roulstone put on a strong display in a shortened 12-lap Moto3 race at the Buriram Grand Prix, battling through tricky conditions to secure 15th place and earn the final point of the race. The Red Bull GASGAS Tech3 rider started from 19th on the grid, contending with high humidity, unpredictable track conditions, and a damp surface that gradually began to dry as the laps progressed.
Reflecting on the race, Roulstone shared, “Mixed emotions. I was a bit unsure on the grid what to do. I should have done some extra sighting laps because I did not have that much confidence on the track in the beginning of the race but then built up my feeling and speed and was able to climb back up to the top fifteen. I could have gone with the front bunch at the start. A learning experience and some positive things from this weekend to take into the next rounds.”
Despite initially dropping outside the top twenty, Roulstone demonstrated resilience, building pace and confidence with each lap and ultimately breaking into the points. This performance marks another step forward for the Australian rider in his rookie Moto3 season, with valuable lessons to carry into the upcoming rounds.
