Red Bull KTM Ajo’s Arthur Sissis has his sights set on next weekend’s Mugello round of the Moto3 World Championship after a trying weekend in France.

Sissis finished 13th in the race despite experiencing set-up issues in mixed conditions, now focused on moving forward this week in Italy.

“The race didn’t go too well,” Sissis said. “When I left the pits to take up my spot on the grid, we were using the wet tyres, because we thought that the asphalt would still be damp.

“But it was already dry on some corners and the conditions were half-wet, half-dry. We used the soft setting, but a few laps in the track was fully dry and I couldn’t ride in comfort.

“I hope to improve for the next race.”

Sissis now sits 11th in the championship standings after the opening four rounds of 2013.
