The event marked Valentin\u0092s first real outing under race conditions with his new four-stroke jet, the Belassi B3S. Seventh in the first race, Valentin quickly adjusted and improved upon his riding to take fifth place in the second race. The Belassi rider has already made an impact on the overall standings by moving into 5th position in the championship \u0096 although he is actually level on points with 4th position. For Valentin this result is a success in every way, especially as he started the event on a basically stock machine. We look back on his weekend... As he said in his own words \u0093I am very satisfied! The machine I used to begin with was a stock version which we hadn\u0092t worked on. I only received my jets just before the start of the season and I had very little time to practice and make adjustments ahead of the opening round of the championship. Although the stock jet is already very powerful, the steering is very different and it took me some time to adapt to it, and I had to make adjustments throughout the weekend in Qatar. I had difficulties in qualifying and that ended up knocking me to eighth place. Fortunately, my starts were very good as the jet really launches off the line! So the power of my B3S gave me a little advantage. It's complicated at the moment, but I am feeling calm about it. Next week we can start to make some changes and we will work on several things; both to the engine and to the hull. I also have to adapt my riding style. But what I've felt this weekend gives me a lot of motivation for the next round, I'm really confident for the rest of the season.\u0094<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Valentin Dardillat\u0092s 2015 season got underway in Doha, Qatar at the first round of the UIM \/ World Championship.
