FOURTH AND FIFTH ROW FOR LOPEZ AND ALDEGUER IN THE GERMAN QUALIFYING

MB Conveyors SpeedUp riders completed the German Grand Prix qualifying held today at Sachsenring. Lopez and Aldeguer qualified respectively in p12 and p13 and will start tomorrow from the fourth and fifth row of the starting grid.

During the second run of FP3 this morning, Lopez and Aldeguer after changing the rear tire set their best times of the three free practices, both showing continuous progress. 1’24.132 for Alonso who gained direct access to Q2 in p8 at +0.492 tenths from the first and 1’24.231 (+0.591) for Fermín, also for him the passage to Q2 thanks to the tenth time.

The qualifying took place at very high temperatures in which the wear of the rubber was the main issue of the session. Both riders returned to the garage after a few laps for the tire change and on their return to the track they set their best times; Lopez finished with the twelfth time in 1’24.314 stating that with a different front tire he could have reached better positions, while Aldeguer finished behind his teammate by just one thousandth of a difference (1’24.315) despite the cancellation of his faster lap that would take him to the third row.

ALONSO LÓPEZ #21: 12^th in 1’24.314

“I am quite happy with this second day at Sachsenring because I felt good with the bike in both sessions. For tomorrow I think we have found the right path to take; an error in the choice of tire but we understand how to face tomorrow’s race. In QP we certainly could have done better, but in any case, we are very confident for tomorrow’s race!”.

FERMÍN ALDEGUER #54: 13^th in 1’24.315

“More or less happy with how this qualifying ended. It’s really a shame we didn’t manage to finish the perfect lap and even more so the cancellation of our fastest lap which would have brought us to seventh position! But in any case, p13 is not that bad at the end and especially with a good pace. I am quite happy with the performance of my bike; we continue to work in this way using tomorrow’s warm up for getting ready for the race”.
