BETA TOOLS SPEEDUP

AUSTRALIAN GP QUALIFYING: ALDEGUER BREAKS HIS OWN RECORD AND CLAIMS POLE. WITH LÓPEZ THIRD, BETA TOOLS SPEEDUP TAKES THE FRONT ROW

For the third consecutive year, Beta Tools SpeedUp confirms itself among the front-runners at Phillip Island. Aldeguer secures pole position, his third of the season, while López takes the third spot on the grid. Both will start from the front row in tomorrow’s race.

Aldeguer, despite the difficult track conditions this morning which prevented him from improving his FP1 time, earned direct access to Q2 thanks to his lap time from yesterday, an excellent 1’32.718. In the afternoon, with the track finally dry, the young Murcian talent made the most of every single lap, never returning to the pits. With a formidable 1’30.876, Fermín not only clinched pole position but also broke his own circuit record.

Alonso López, for his part, demonstrated great speed and determination on a track that suits him particularly well. Despite the challenges faced during FP2, where the conditions didn’t allow him to improve his time, Alonso still earned direct access to Q2 thanks to his 1’33.035 lap time recorded yesterday. In qualifying, he faced some unexpected issues on the track, including front grip problems. However, thanks to the excellent work of the team and the use of new tires, he was able to respond swiftly. On his final available lap, he stopped the clock at 1’31.144, securing the third-best time and ensuring a front-row start.

FERMÍN ALDEGUER #54: 1st in 1’30.876

“We have a good pace, we didn’t change the tires, and I feel good, confident about starting from the front row tomorrow. I really like this track; it suits my riding style, and overall, it works very well with the setup of my Boscoscuro. Right now, there are nine of us fighting for the championship, but we need to focus on giving our best tomorrow, as it’s the most important day. The main goal at this moment isn’t the title, but to get on the podium tomorrow, and hopefully in all the upcoming races”.

ALONSO LÓPEZ #21: 3rd in 1’31.144

“I was lacking a bit of grip with the front tire, but when I got back to the box, I explained the situation to my team, and they fixed the issue perfectly. With the new tires, I felt like I could go for the pole position, but I didn’t do well in the first sector and lost some time. We’re fighting for the win tomorrow”.
