CLASS 1 PROMOTER BACKS OFFICIALS DECISION

Saturday, 15 December, DUBAI (UAE): Class 1 promoter Nicolo di San Germano was quick to point out that he did not feel let down by the actions of the teams who boycotted the race but was emphatic in his support of the decision taken by officials to change the course. “Everybody is responsible for their own actions and if they were unhappy sobeit. But in terms of sportsmanship and sporting actions - I make no comment.

“I am grateful to the UIM officials because what we want and must have are safe races. When it comes to safety we make it our first priority. We have a duty and our responsibility, along with the officials of the UIM, is to minimise risk.”
