MB CONVEYORS SPEED UP

QUALIFYING: SIXTH AND NINTH ROW FOR THE MB CONVEYORS SPEEDUP RIDERS

MB Conveyors SpeedUp riders went back to action today at the Circuit of the Americas to determine their position on the starting grid of tomorrow’s race.

Weekend of ups and downs for Navarro. The Valencian rider overcame the electrical problems he had yesterday with a good FP3 in which he found the right feeling, gaining direct access to Q2 thanks to the eleventh time in 2’10.266, scored at the end of the session. Unfortunately, a crash at the start of qualifying compromised the fight for the top positions on the grid. Team 9 will start tomorrow from the sixth row in p17.

Quite a positive day for the young Aldeguer despite the final result. Fermín, at his first GP of the Americas, showed continuous progress during each session held in a long and winding circuit, also improving his best lap in qualifying and reducing the gap. P25 and ninth row for number 54 and his team in tomorrow’s race.

JORGE NAVARRO #9: 17^th in 2’16.506

“A strange day. This morning we were finally able to run for the whole session and the sensations on track were good. Unfortunately, I crashed on the first lap of qualifying, but I immediately got back on the bike and continued to ride without returning to the garage and without realizing that a piece had broken. When I realized that something was wrong it was too late to stop. I’m sorry for this mistake, in any case tomorrow we will do our best to have a good race”.

FERMÍN ALDEGUER #54: 25^th in 2’10.567

“A somewhat complicated day but let’s look on the bright side: we are getting closer and better with each outing on the track. I wasn’t able to finish any perfect laps, but I still improved my time and this is definitely positive. Tomorrow we can face the race with the aim of finishing in the top fifteen, and therefore we will fight to reach it.”
