ARAGÓN GP QUALIFYING: FOURTH AND SEVENTH ROW FOR THE BETA TOOLS SPEEDRS TEAM RIDERS

The second day at MotorLand Aragón came to a close today, with qualifying sessions setting the grid for tomorrow’s race. The Beta Tools SpeedRS Team ends Saturday with Alonso López in tenth position (fourth row) and Celestino Vietti in nineteenth (seventh row).

López showed signs of progress already in the morning’s FP2 session, where he improved on his Friday time and finished fifth with a lap of 1’50.847. In the afternoon, he confirmed his strong feeling with the Boscoscuro, dominating Q1 with the fastest lap in 1’50.509. He maintained a solid pace in Q2, finishing tenth with a time of 1’50.669, securing a spot on the fourth row of the grid.

A different outcome for Vietti who, despite making good progress in the morning (P9 with 1’50.972), faced a more challenging Q1. Several incidents with other riders during crucial laps compromised his flying laps. His best time of 1’51.190 placed him fifth in the session, not enough to advance to Q2. He will therefore start tomorrow’s race from the seventh row.

ALONSO LÓPEZ #21: 10th – 1’50.669
“It’s been a positive day. I had good feelings right from the morning, and we were able to make a big step forward compared to yesterday. In Q1 I found a strong rhythm and pushed hard, while in Q2 I gave it everything, even though it was a bit harder to find the same feeling. Starting from the fourth row is not bad. Tomorrow it’ll be important to get a good start and manage the first few laps well. We have the pace to stay with the group and fight for a good result”.

CELESTINO VIETTI #13: 19th – 1’51.190

“Unfortunately, another tough qualifying session here in Aragón. Starting from Q1 is never easy as the level of competition is really high this year. I did my best lap towards the end of the session, managing to overtake several riders, but it still wasn’t enough to reach Q2. I’m disappointed because we were planning to try some different settings in the second session. Tomorrow will be a challenging race, but I’m feeling hopeful. At Silverstone I started from the same position and managed a great comeback”.
