Not surprisingly Australian Mitchell Evans is out of the GP of Asia due to his latest crash last weekend. It might be a good idea for the very fast Australian to regroup and come back at Loket with something like he did on Saturday in Palembang, when he finished second to Jorge Prado in the qualification race.

"Gutted to say that I won't be racing at Semarang, especially after that qualifying race on Saturday. It obviously isn't what we want but I know it is the right decision after four big crashes in three rounds. My body needs some time to heal! Now we are looking forward to getting back on it in Loket!"
