 The Te ch 3 Racing Team saw hopes of a double top ten finish at the historic Indianapolis Motor Speedway end in disappointing fashion after Yuki Takahashi and Raffaele de Rosa failed to finish this afternoon's Moto2 race.
The first ever Moto2 race to be staged on American soil was reduced from 26-laps after two separate incidents at the second corner forced out the red flags.
Restarted over a shortened 17-lap distance, Takahashi and de Rosa were looking strong contenders for top ten finishes when they crashed out of an incident-packed race held in scorching hot conditions.
Japanese rider Takahashi was in the heat of an enthralling multi-rider fight when he was the innocent victim of a rash move by Italian Roberto Rolfo on lap five.
The incident saw Takahashi fall out of 15th position and he was forced to enter the pits. His Tech 3 crew worked quickly to repair minor damage and despite a nasty left arm injury, Takahashi rejoined the race to try and get some crucial data for the remainder of the campaign. He finished in 26th position.

Resurgent de Rosa qualifies in top ten at Indianapolis |

 Tech 3 Team Moto2 rider Raffaele de Rosa continued his impressive recent form by claiming his best qualifying result since the opening race of 2010 at the legendary Indianapolis Motor Speedway this afternoon.
The Italian, boosted by his first top 15 finish in Brno earlier this month, will start tomorrow's 26-lap race from tenth position on the grid after yet another incredibly close qualifying session.
American fans getting their first taste of the action-packed Moto2 class were not disappointed with just 1.7s covering the top 35 at the end of an enthralling session run in sizzling temperatures that nudged 36 degrees.
A crash did little to dent de Rosa's confidence and a best time of 1.46.739 was just 0.600s away from pole position and he's determined to claim his first top ten finish in the Moto2 class tomorrow.
Yuki Takahashi will start a further three places down the grid after he clocked a best time of 1.46.935. The Japanese rider made big strides in solving some of the set-up issues that prevented him from showing his usual fast pace yesterday.

Double celebration for Tech 3 Racing in Brno |

 The Tech 3 Racing Team enjoyed a double celebration in Brno this afternoon after Yuki Takahashi claimed a stunning second place and Raffaele de Rosa scored his first points in an entertaining Moto2 race.
Takahashi was one of the star performers in a 20-lap race run in warm conditions, a stark contrast to the cooler temperatures and grey skies that covered the Brno circuit for the earlier 125cc race.
Starting from fifth place on the grid, Takahashi fell to 12th on lap one but his brilliant podium assault kicked off on lap 11 when he dived underneath Alex Debon for fifth place. He'd lost contact with the top four but that didn't deter the hard charging Japanese rider. He quickly closed down over two seconds on Jules Cluzel and passed the Frenchman on lap 15 to claim third after Roberto Rolfo was unfortunate to retire from the top three with a technical issue.

Yuki Takahashi aims for podium in Brno |
|
Samedi, 14 Août 2010 17:00 |
 Yuki Takahashi continued his impressive return to action after a long and deserved summer break in Brno today, the Tech 3 Team rider narrowly missing out on a front row start for tomorrow’s Czech Republic Grand Prix. The Japanese rider will start tomorrow’s 20-lap race from fifth spot on the grid after another accomplished performance on the French-built Tech 3 machine. Takahashi, who won the Catalunya race in early July, posted a best time of 2.04.145 to miss recording his fourth front row start by just 0.351s. That time left him just over 0.6s away from pole position, which was claimed by compatriot Shoya Tomizawa. Raffaele de Rosa has a great opportunity to score his first Moto2 world championship points having qualified in 17th place on the grid.

Gary REYNDERS – Chef Mécanicien Moto2 – Août 2010
« Après le souffle de la Victoire »
 Gary est le chef mécanicien de Yuki Takahashi, l’un des deux pilotes du team Tech3 Racing, vainqueur du Grand Prix de Barcelone en juillet dernier.
D’origine Belge Flamande, Gary bénéficie d’une longue carrière en Grand Prix en qualité de Chef Mécanicien depuis 5 ans et depuis 4 ans chez Tech3.
Ingénieur technique de formation, il fait ses débuts dans la course moto en 1997 en tant que Technicien Suspensions avant de devenir l’interlocuteur privilégié d’un pilote GP en 2005.
La Victoire en Catalogne :
« La victoire à Barcelone fut une magnifique surprise même si nous n’avons jamais douté des aptitudes de Yuki. Les séances du week-end s’étaient très bien déroulées avec de bons chronos et de bonnes qualifs, mais comme nous ne sommes jamais certains de ce qui peut se passer en course : le pire comme le meilleur est possible, cette fois, le meilleur est arrivé et la chance nous a souri !
Tech3 Racing a énormément travaillé tout au long de l’hiver, la victoire est donc aussi celle d’un travail d’équipe soutenu par toutes nos compétences…
