One of the 2022 Moto2 title favourites, Jake Dixon is looking to bounce back from a disappointing 11th place finish in Qatar 🌠at this weeke🌠nd’s inaugural Mandalika race.

A disastrous start to the Qatar Moto2 race le🐓ft the British rider - qualified in seventh place - slipping outside the top 20 and therefore resulting in a damage limitation type of race. 

Despite the poor sꦛtart which he classed ‘a disaꦛster’, Dixon was one of the quickest riders on-track throughout the race, something he wants to replicate in Mandalika as MotoGP returns to Indonesia for the first time since 1997.

Dixon said: "The pace in Qatar was good to fight for t💮he podium, but the🥂 first lap was a disaster. 

"We are in a long seasღon, there are 20 races👍 left and this is not how it starts, but how it ends. 

"This weekend we have a second chance at a new track, and I want to think that I am one of the best ꧃riders when it comes to learning a new circuit."

While D🎉ixon had an up-and-down Qatar race, team-mate Albert Arenas had a much more consistent performance. 

So while that’s a positive for the former Moto3 world champion♐, Arenas still lacked the pace to fight for a top ten fin🍒ish which is why 'we cannot be happy, we have to improve' according to the Spaniard. 

Arenas added: "We face the second race of the season with enthusiasm. We cannot be happy with how the Qatar Grand Pri🍸x went in terms of results, al🌃though in terms of the work we put in we are OK. 

"We managed to score points an♒d we have to continue doing so, We have to be consistent in such a long championship. 

"We ha🔴ve a good base to start from, but we have to improve it, and that will be the goal in Indonesia."
