Despite showing impressive pre-season Moto3 form Husqvarna’s Danny Kent didn’t start to achieve his potential until the Assen round but maintains that his return to the smallest MotoGP class was still the best thing to do after an horrendous year in Moto2.
Many eyeballs were raised when it was announced that Kent would return from whence he came in 2013 and ride for the Husqvarna-branded KTM squad run by Aki Ajo but after a difficult start, he has begun to run with the front men.
I think I made a good decision. It's true that the results haven’t come for us until a couple of races ago, but the best option for me was to be in Moto3. During the second half of the season we will have to push 110% to get podiums and try to win races. I sincerely believe that I can be up at the top,” said Kent.
“The start to the year was not what we had expected after preseason testing. We've had to work hard to be up at the front and, to be honest, I think it was mainly due to my riding style. However, in recent races, especially at Assen, we have taken an important step forward which confirmed at the Sachsenring.
“Hopefully I can keep up this form and continue to improve, because I know that I have a team and a bike capable of winning races and being on the podium. That's why I think we can have good races."
