FRIDAY ARAGÓN GP: LÓPEZ AND VIETTI CURRENTLY OUT OF DIRECT Q2 ACCESS

The eighth round of the Moto2 World Championship officially got underway today at MotorLand de Aragón. The opening day of practice ended with the Beta Tools SpeedRS Team riders provisionally outside the Q2 group: Vietti finished in P15, while López closed in P18.

For Alonso, the day didn’t start as expected, especially considering that he set the lap record here last year with a time of 1’50.989. In FP1, the Spanish rider recorded the 11th fastest lap (1’52.118), before ending the afternoon Practice session with the 18th time overall (1’51.557). Tomorrow, he’ll tackle Q1 with the clear goal of securing one of the top four spots to advance into Q2.

It was a demanding Friday for Celestino as well. After finishing FP1 in 13th position (1’52.134), the Italian rider returned to the track in the afternoon with a revised Boscoscuro setup, following adjustments made between the two sessions. Vietti improved his time but missed direct access to Q2 by just 0.042s, ending the day in P15 with a best lap of 1’51.388. For him too, tomorrow’s qualifying will be crucial in the fight for the front rows of the grid.

ALONSO LÓPEZ #21: 18th – 1’51.557
“Honestly, I was expecting more, especially on a track where we were really strong last year. This morning we struggled a bit to find the right feeling, and in the afternoon we tried different solutions to improve the pace, but we didn’t quite make that step forward we needed to get into Q2 directly. Tomorrow we’ll give everything in Q1”.

CELESTINO VIETTI #13: 15th – 1’51.388
“I wasn’t able to get into Q2. There are some sections where we’re strong, but in others I’m losing quite a bit. The goal now is to analyze the data carefully, try to improve my riding and get closer to the front. It won’t be easy tomorrow because we have to go through Q1 first, but we’ll give it our all”.
