THAI GP QUALIFYING: VIETTI SECURES THE FRONT ROW, WHILE LÓPEZ CLAIMS THE THIRD
The second day of the Thai GP has just concluded with an outstanding result for Celestino Vietti, who secured a spot on the front row, while Alonso López ensured a solid third-row start for tomorrow’s race.After a FP2 session focused on tire analysis and refining the feeling with his Boscoscuro, Vietti had to face Q1 due to the sixteenth fastest time in yesterday’s Practice. With great determination, the Italian rider made it through to Q2 with a fast lap of 1’35.144. In the decisive session, the Cirié talent immediately set the pace and, with an exceptional 1’34.670, secured second place, just +0.036 behind González. Thanks to this result, Vietti will start from the front row, alongside Spanish riders #18 and #44.
Alonso López also took advantage of the morning practice session to further work on the bike setup, not focusing on the fast lap. In Q2, on his last available attempt, the Madrid rider stopped the clock at 1’35.090, securing ninth place and a third-row start for tomorrow’s race.

ALONSO LÓPEZ #21: 9th in 1’35.090
“Today was an intense day: we worked hard to find the best solution for the race tomorrow. We know the pace of the front riders is high, and some of them have been competitive in all the sessions. I don’t expect to be on the podium, but I’m sure we can have a good race”.

CELESTINO VIETTI #13: 2nd in 1’34.670
“I’m very satisfied, especially because yesterday the feeling with the used tire was good, but I needed time to adapt to the new one. Today, with a few adjustments, we were able to improve. In Q1, I made some mistakes, but I still managed to get into Q2, where I found my fast lap and secured the front row. This is an advantage for us because, with this heat, we can avoid the bike’s heat. Tomorrow we’ll have to manage the start well and maintain a consistent pace; we’ll see how the race ends”.
