LIGHTECH SPEEDUP

QUALIFYING: ALONSO SURPRISES AGAIN. P2 AND FRONT ROW FOR TOMORROW’S RACE. FERMÍN CLOSES IN P11.

The second day of the French GP has come to an end at the memorable Le Mans circuit where the Lightech SpeedUp riders determined their position on the starting grid for tomorrow’s race. López took the front row while Aldeguer reached the fourth.

The number 21 color bearer started with conviction during the French FP3 showing that he had good rhythm but, at the last exit from the pits, he didn’t have enough time left to set the fastest lap. He thus confirmed his excellent third position in the combined classification thanks to the time set yesterday: 1’36.271.

He gained direct access to Q2 in the afternoon where, once again, he surprised everyone. Fifty seconds from the end of qualifying, the unstoppable Alonso took his Boscoscuro to second place with a time of 1’36.036 just +0.245 from Lowes and therefore from the front row for the French race.

During FP3 in the morning, Aldeguer couldn’t find the right feeling and didn’t bring home the desired result. He maintained P16 and left the time trial set the day before unchanged: 1’37.097. He tackled Q1 to the fullest and on lap nine he crushed the fastest time of the session with 1’36.454. He rightfully earned the pass to Q2 which end in P11. Fourth row of the starting grid for tomorrow’s race for the young Fermín.

ALONSO LÓPEZ #21: 2°- 1’36.036

“I am very happy to have conquered the front row for tomorrow’s race. We have excellent race pace and make few mistakes in a circuit where it’s easy to make them. We’ll have fun tomorrow.”

FERMÍN ALDEGUER #54: 11°- 1’36.454

“Good sensations astride the Boscoscuro and, despite the result of FP3, we managed to get through to Q2, lowering the time set yesterday, albeit slightly. Tomorrow, we start from P11 and this will mean that we will do our best to recover since the potential to do so is there.”
