“Lisa Caussin-Battaglia hadn’t planned to go to Vietnam because she didn’t have a competitive machine.
The Gp1 had broken down in Indonesia and was going straight to this race … it was only after confirmation of a place remaining in the organisation’s container that we took the decision to take part with the machine that was being prepared without even having had time to try it out” (information from social networks
mt racing).
Despite a difficult qualifying session (P10 pole position and P9 parallel slalom), but favourable race conditions in race 1 (2 disqualifications), the Monaco rider finished this Grand Prix in Vietnam Race1 = P7, Race2 = P8, Race3 = P10.
The overall ranking puts her in 7th place for the rest of the UIM Aquabike World Championship next June in Sardinia (Italy). 11 participants are taking part in this UIM World Championship, with 9 races and 3 countries (Vietnam, Italy, Indonesia), so any points gained will be important in the final event.
“The good surprise is that Lisa is enjoying herself on this machine and improving with each launch!
The stock engine doesn’t allow us to fight, but we knew that … the aim here is to put in the hours on it in racing situations and to develop the machine throughout this season” (information social networks mt racing).
In conclusion:
Another difficult UIM weekend for Lisa Caussin- Battaglia, as she was aiming for victory in this year’s 2024 Asian Grand Prix (announced in the Monegasque press) with a machine that wasn’t yet ready (social network announcement)!!!!
We hope that this new jet ski (acquired in September 2022) will be ready for the next round of the Italian GP ‘OLBIA’ next June.
