Further to his comeback at Donington Park prior to the summer break and an injury occuring in testing after only two
Grand Prix showings this season, Balázs Németh gained his initial career points at the Cardion ab Czech Republic
Grand Prix, where he commenced on the grid at 18th place.
Though 14th place will surely just be a stepping stone
for the Hungarian competitor, the points were gratefully accepted by Németh and the Balatonring staff as they were
gained ahead of a massive following of spectators from Hungary at Brno.
Németh stated, “I am delighted
with the result, and to finally have some World Championship points. The start was better than any that I’ve done before;
not losing a single position was a very positive point. I started overtaking other riders and on the second lap I was already
15th. I saw that there wasn't much space between myself and the rider ahead of me, so I pushed to catch him.”
“I felt very comfortable on the Aprilia and lap by lap was able to reduce my times, thinking about taking points
for the first time. The bike worked fantastically well during the race, thanks to the work that my mechanics had performed
throughout the whole weekend. I know that now I can ride quickly, and the goal from here on in is to keep up this kind of
performance.”
