Bryan Staring suffered a series of tyre-related issues in the Czech Republic.

A potential points finish went begging for GO&FUN Gresini Honda rider Bryan Staring at Brno, with persistent tyre problems curtailing his progress throughout the grand prix.

The Grand Prix of the Czech Republic presented plenty of promise for the Aussie, who won the World Superstock 1000 race at the same circuit last season.

Unlike the majority of circuits on the world championship calendar, Staring came into the round with a solid direction to pursue based upon his personal experience, but found himself hindered by problems with tyre chatter that could not be resolved.

Staring lamented a lack of progress between Friday and Saturday track running, leading to a frustrating 24th grid placing for the 22-lap race.

Though he was able to work with his crew to reduce the chatter issue, an overall lack of late-race tyre performance saw him languishing at the back of the field for a 20th place finish.

“We went a little better than in practice and we suffered a little less with the chattering problem, but the result was not what we were hoping to achieve this weekend,” admitted the Aussie.

“Unfortunately at the end the tyre performance dropped off and I was unable to ride as I had in the first part of the race.

“It is a shame, because after the problems in practice we were not able to get a good race result. We had a pretty average race because of it.”

The Australian rider hopes to put the disappointment behind him as the MotoGP circus continues to its third event in as many weeks at Silverstone.

“We’ll move on and hope we can improve in Silverstone,” he added. “The last part of the season I know pretty much all the circuits, but last weekend it didn’t really help us.

“We’ll learn what we can and move on. It hasn’t been as easy coming to the tracks that I know as I thought it might have been, purely because all of my reference points are so far different from what this bike can do.

“Even the lap time compared to the World Superstock bike is three or four seconds difference. Almost at the moment it seems like a bit more of a hinderance than anything else, but I’m sure it’s not going to be in the future, we just had one pretty average event.”

The pilot of the sole FTR Honda in the field sits 25th on the standings, with two points to his name.
