BETA TOOLS SPEED UP

ALDEGUER BREAKS THE TRACK RECORD AND TAKES THE POLE. WITH LÓPEZ THIRD THE BETA TOOLS SPEEDUP TEAM SIGNS THE FIRST ROW

At the Phillip Island Circuit Fermín Aldeguer seals the second pole position of the season in lap-record, while Alonso López is third within a few tenths of a second.

From the morning of this Australian Saturday the Beta Tools SpeedUp riders proved to be in great shape, finishing the third and last free practice in p1 and p2. 1’32.616 is the best time of the combined free practice times scored by Alonso at the start of FP3. With +0.318 from his teammate, Fermín closed the free practice in second position, also securing the Q2.

Aldeguer and López were also the absolute protagonists of the final qualifying until the last lap when, due to two geese on the track, the early stop of the race direction arrived, preventing Alonso from going to take pole and Fermín from improving his time, already a track record, set at the start of qualifying (1’32.233).

FERMÍN ALDEGUER #54: 1^st in 1’32.233

“Pole! I’m really happy, words fail because it took a long time to get back to these levels. The important thing is that we have a good pace for tomorrow’s race to be able to achieve a good result. I thank the whole team because they have never stopped believing in me and supporting me, we are working really well this weekend and so what to say, let’s keep going!”.

ALONSO LÓPEZ #21: 3^rd in 1’32.543

“I feel really good with the bike, I’m happy and confident for tomorrow’s race because I think we can do well despite the penalty imposed on us. I’m sorry for the red flag, because we could have finished our best lap, but for everyone’s safety it was fine. The long lap will make us lose about two, two and a half seconds, but we have an excellent pace and we can have a great race!”.
