THIRD ROW FOR THE FOLLADORE SPEEDRS TEAM IN FRENCH GP QUALIFYING

A positive second day for the Folladore SpeedRS Team at Le Mans, where Celestino Vietti and Alonso López secured the ninth and eighth positions in qualifying, earning a spot on the third row for tomorrow’s race.

The FP2 session in the morning marked a clear improvement compared to Friday. Setup adjustments and continuous work in the garage allowed both riders to find a good rhythm from the very first laps. Vietti finished the session with the sixth-fastest time of 1’35.063, followed closely by López in seventh with 1’35.098.

In Q2, Celestino continued to improve his feel with the Boscoscuro, stopping the clock at 1’34.811 and finishing in ninth position. Alonso, after a challenging second run, responded with determination and on his final attempt managed to set the eighth-fastest time of 1’34.754, just 0.439 seconds off pole.

ALONSO LÓPEZ #21: 8th in 1’34.754
“Today was a good day. I struggled a bit to find the right lap in qualifying, but the team did a great job and we managed to finish strong. Starting from eighth isn’t bad on such a technical track, and tomorrow it will be important to get a strong start and stay with the front group”.

CELESTINO VIETTI #13: 9th in 1’34.811
“It was a positive Saturday in terms of feeling: we made progress both in race pace and speed. At the same time, though, I’m a bit frustrated with myself because I didn’t manage the qualifying session well. After the second run, I wasn’t able to put together a lap that would allow me to start further up. I’m sorry, especially for the team, because today’s package deserved more. Tomorrow we will give everything to recover and bring home the best possible result”.
