QUALIFYING: LÓPEZ STILL IN THE FIRST ROW, ALDEGUER IN THE THIRD

There is a lot of López this Saturday at the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli. The +EGO SpeedUp rider continued the excellent work started on the first day of the San Marino and Riviera di Rimini Grand Prix, closing qualifying with the third fastest time. Fermín Aldeguer is back to fight for the top ten by placing seventh on tomorrow’s starting grid.

1’36.107 is the time set by Alonso during the FP3 in the morning with which he positioned himself at the top of the combined free practice classification although a crash during the session. In qualifying the number 21 managed to find a fast lap after the pit stop for the rear tire change reaching the third position and, for the second time in a row, the front row in 1’36.186.

Second positive day also for the young Aldeguer who gained direct access to Q2 with the eighth position reached during the last free practice in the morning (1’36.522). In qualifying the feeling improved and Fermín immediately made it clear about his competitiveness, scoring an excellent 1’36.482 on the third lap on the track. A crash at turn eight closed the fight for pole of number 54 who will start tomorrow from the third row in seventh position.

ALONSO LÓPEZ #21: 3^rd in 1’36.186

“We have to be satisfied to be on the front row once again, although I am sorry to have missed the opportunity to make a last lap due to a mistake that made us waste time towards the end of qualifying. For tomorrow I think we have a good pace to fight for the podium. I want to thank my family and all those who support me, let’s keep it up!”.

FERMÍN ALDEGUER #54: 7^th in 1’36.482

“We are slowly recovering the good feelings with the Boscoscuro bike. In FP3 this morning we found a good feeling, improving it then in Q2 where we started strong immediately, lowering the time on the second lap. Too bad for the crash because without that we would certainly have been able to finish better, but the third row is not bad at all to start the race. Can’t for tomorrow!”.
