In previous races in the Royal Superbike class, König moved along the track rather alone. Start, opening laps and then the rest of the race field was only in sight … In Portugal, the scenario was different. The Czech rider managed to ride with a group of opponents. “I watched him get a dick off the couch. It was great. They overtook and Oliver gained a lot of experience with this race. When it gets in his head, it will only get better, “says manager Miloš Čihák, who also works in the MIE Honda Racing team.

The newcomer of the superbike class directed everything to the last round, until it was decided there what place the young Czech would take. “It simply came to our notice then. I knew where I wanted to overtake my opponent. I succeeded, but I made a mistake in the penultimate turn. I still held my position, but Honda was a little more on the line and eventually overcame me, “König described the key moments.” I’m sorry, I wanted to be ahead of him and win nineteenth place. But overall, I take it as an improvement. “

The driver from the Orelac Racing team was also satisfied that he set constant times in Estoril during the first race. “I am very glad I did not fail. In the last lap I was only six tenths slower than in my fastest lap. I felt good physically, I would like to thank the coach from Balance club Brumlovka, where they put me together. Now I’m just getting better, “König added.
