BETA TOOLS SPEEDUP

GOOD START FOR BETA TOOLS SPEEDUP IN THE JAPANESE GP FREE PRACTICE. ALDEGUER FINISHES P7, LÓPEZ P13

 A few days after the Indonesian GP, the Beta Tools SpeedUp team riders returned to action at the Motegi Resort Circuit for the sixteenth round of the 2025 season. On the first day of free practice, Fermín Aldeguer finished P7 and Alonso López P13, showing encouraging signs despite the challenging track conditions.

Aldeguer immediately showed great feeling with the bike, setting the sixth-fastest time in FP1 with a lap of 1’50.751. However, shortly after, he suffered a high-speed crash at Turn 7, fortunately escaping without any physical consequences. Thanks to the team’s swift work in repairing the Boscoscuro, Fermín was back on track in the afternoon, determined to further improve his pace and refine his references, especially with new tires. In his second run, the number 54 clocked a 1’50.114 lap time, securing seventh place and a provisional spot in tomorrow’s Q2.

Alonso, on the other hand, finished the first session in fifth position with a time of 1’50.620. In the afternoon, the changing weather conditions forced the team to test different set-up combinations, but despite some difficulties, López managed to improve his time, registering a 1’50.269, placing him in thirteenth in the combined standings.

FERMÍN ALDEGUER #54: 7th in 1’50.015

“The feeling with the bike is really good, and I am confident that tomorrow we can do even better. In preparation for tomorrow, I worked hard on the references and trajectories. I hope the weather holds and that it doesn’t rain because my goal is to get into the first two rows”.

ALONSO LÓPEZ #21: 13th in 1’50.269

“The rainy conditions forced us to test different configurations, especially for the rear of the bike, where I was struggling to find the right feeling. The important thing for me was to be able to get into provisional Q2 today, because some riders adapt better to the wet and you never know what could happen tomorrow. If the track conditions are normal, I’m sure we can improve significantly”.
