DUTCH GP QUALIFYING: SIXTH ROW FOR THE FOLLADORE SPEEDRS TEAM RIDERS

A tough qualifying session for the Folladore SpeedRS Team at the Dutch GP, where Celestino Vietti and Alonso López finished sixteenth and seventeenth respectively. Both riders will start from the sixth row in tomorrow’s race.

Alonso focused on race simulation during the morning FP2 session, lapping consistently and finishing tenth with a time of 1’36.138. However, in Q2, he was involved in a collision with Salac that forced him to return to the pits in pain. After checks at the medical center, no fractures were found, and fortunately, the rider is in good condition. As he was unable to complete his qualifying run, López ended up in seventeenth place and will start from the sixth row.

Celestino wrapped up the final free practice in P16 with a time of 1’36.290. In Q2, the Italian rider attempted to improve his lap time but couldn’t put together a perfect lap. His best time of 1’35.997 earned him sixteenth place, lining up right next to his teammate.

ALONSO LÓPEZ #21: 17th – 1’35.997
“This morning in FP2 I was feeling really good, we worked on the race pace and the rhythm was competitive. Unfortunately, in qualifying I had contact with Salac which forced me to stop. I felt pain immediately, but luckily the medical checks didn’t reveal any fractures. It’s not the result we wanted, but I’ll give it everything in the race to recover positions”.

CELESTINO VIETTI #13: 16th – 1’35.884
“Unfortunately, it was another difficult Saturday where I couldn’t really make an impact in qualifying. Tomorrow will be tough because we’re starting from the back and there are some very strong riders ahead. Now we’ll analyze the data to understand what didn’t work and what I can do better to improve my riding and go faster. We’ll give it our all tomorrow and try to recover as much as we can and have a good race”.
