Switzerland's Tom Lüthi is still waiting for a boost. After the FP2 at Sachsenring, he said: "The straight lines are gone."

Tom Lüthi (31) did not finish on the Marc VDS-Honda on the first day of training in Saxony in 23rd place. But at least the Moto2 World Vice-Champion 2016 and 2017 has had six days of crash-free racing since the crash in Barcelona.

"Wednesday's test in Brno was not very conclusive this weekend at Sachsenring, because the track is something completely different from Brno." It was good to be there. Spend a day in Brno.It was positive, I could try a little something.I hope it will help me when we will be at the Brno Grand Prix in early August.Unfortunately, this is not good. did not help here. "

" It was the return to normal everyday life.First know the track with the MotoGP machine, then work with the bike.But now, especially in the second test session, I really had problems with the bend of the bike.The front wheel is folded permanently.We must control this now, "said Tom

Stefan Bradl will share-t there configuration information? "I will probably ask him what he thinks. I hope we can discuss it together. It is always useful to have new entries.

What is the difficulty of the narrow Sachsenring with the 1000cc V2 engine of 280 hp? Lüthi: "It's cool to drive here – it's a very special circuit, as always – but with the MotoGP Honda, the track is even smaller." The straight lines have completely disappeared. There were still short straight lines, at the start / end you had to fight with wheelies, get off there too, it's very exciting, but there is hardly any right in front of it. It's very exciting, because it's tight and technical, you have to drive very precisely.This makes Marc Márquez extremely good, I'm sure I'll see some of that. "
