Eighteen-year-old Finnish rider Rico Salmela of Red Bull KTM Tech3 fought back from a Q1 crash and a 19th-place start to finish 7th in the British Grand Prix Moto3 race at Silverstone, the best result among that weekend's Moto3 rookies. He heads next to the Aragon Grand Prix on August 28-30.
Coming back from 19th to 7th sounds easier than it actually is. Whether you can reset your head after a qualifying crash is the real gap between rookies and veterans. With throttle feel still fresh in his fingers, he rode the rest of that weekend well — genuine respect from someone who's been there myself.
