+EGO SPEED UP

QUALIFYING: THIRD ROW FOR NAVARRO AND NINTH FOR LOPEZ AT TT ASSEN CIRCUIT

The + EGO Speed ​​Up team closed QP day of Dutch TT with the seventh place of Jorge Navarro and the twenty-seventh place of Alonso Lopez, taking respectively the third and ninth row of the starting grid of the Dutch track.

Navarro and his staff completed yesterday’s excellent work by closing the three free practice sessions with the fourth best time in 1’36.838 (+0.327) which he scored in FP3 in the morning, thus gaining direct access to Q2. In the fifteen minutes available, the Valencian opted for two time attacks. After having made an excellent lap in 1’36.816 and having positioned himself among the first at the start of QP, Jorge returned to the garage to change tires. The second time attack, however, did not bring the aimed results because the crash in the fastest lap dragged team nine to the third row.

Demanding day but with a positive outcome for Lopez. Alonso closed the free practices with the twentieth time in 1’37.762, positioning himself at +1.251 from the first. Out of the top 14, Lopez therefore had to face Q1. Unfortunately for only two tenths the number two of the + EGO SpeedUp team missed the final Q2, qualifying in twenty-seventh place.

JORGE NAVARRO # 9: 7th in 1’36.816

“Positive day! Good feeling with the bike and good lap times already in FP3 this morning! In qualifying, I struggled to find grip in the rear probably due to the increase in temperature. We need to analyze the data to better understand why, because it cost me a bit too much to find the fastest lap. In any case, the starting position is good as is the pace and therefore we have all the potential to race the best!”.

ALONSO LOPEZ # 2: 27th in 1’37.299

“I am very happy because today the feeling with the bike has improved a lot and I feel more competitive. We were just two tenths away to stay in Q2 and be able to fight with the best. We are growing, today’s pace was good and we are satisfied with this. We are therefore ready to fight and give 100% in the race tomorrow. I thank Luca once again and the sponsors all for the opportunity given to me”.
