POSITIVE START FOR CAG SPEEDUP: P3 AND P14 IN THE FREE PRACTICES OF THE BRITISHGP

Moto2 is finally back in action, kicking off the second part of the 2022 season. The weekend began with two free practices on Friday at the Silverstone circuit in which Alonso López and Fermín Aldeguer went on track with the new colors of the CAG SpeedUp team.

Third position at the end of the day for the number 21 who proved to be competitive right from the first laps on the track. FP1 did well in the morning when Alonso finished fourth with +0.579 from the first, adapting very well to the track. In the second session López continued to be fast, scoring his best time of the day towards the end of the free practice in 2’05.129 which in FP2 as in the provisional combined standings equates to an excellent third place.

Positive day also for the young Aldeguer. The Spaniard finished the first free practice session in eleventh position with a time of 2’06.533 at +1.124. In the three runs of the afternoon session, the team54 tried different solutions to set up the bike, finding a good setting right at the end of the FP2 in which the CAG SpeedUp rider lowered the morning lap by almost a second. Fermín thus concluded the first day of the British Grand Prix in p14 in 2’05.669 (+1.096).

ALONSO LÓPEZ #21: 3^rd in 2’05.129

“I have to say that I felt very comfortable with the bike today. At the beginning I felt a bit lost because this circuit is super super tough, but let’s say that I took the measures almost immediately, working very well with my team and finding a good set-up together. I am very happy because I am quite competitive and I believe that tomorrow we can make a leap with which we can get even closer to the top of the standings!”.

FERMÍN ALDEGUER #54: 14^th in 2’05.669

“A rather complicated first day even if in the end we are in the provisional Q2. More or less happy with how it went today, we have to continue working to find the right feeling with the bike, but we are on the right track. I am sure that if we would had done a few more fast laps we could have been ahead of the fourteenth position but, in any case, we are determined to continue the work we have started today!”.
