ALONSO LÓPEZ #21: 3rd in 1’35.128
“Today we worked a lot on setting up the bike and after several tests we are happy to have understood where we need to improve. Tomorrow I think that as far as the pace is concerned we could be closer to the others because today we found the fastest lap. I’m looking forward to tomorrow to put today’s work into action and look for a good qualifying ahead of the race”.
FERMÍN ALDEGUER #54: 12th in 1’35.862
“A bit complicated day but in the end, I am more or less happy with my feelings with the bike; we missed the fastest lap but we still have a free practice session ahead to try to be as quick and precise as possible. It goes without saying that the warmth of the home grand prix is unmatched, it’s really nice to be here in Valencia!”.
