POSITIVE FRIDAY FOR THE CAG SPEEDUP TEAM: LOPEZ AND ALDEGUER IN THE TOP 10

A few days after the end of the first pre-season tests, the CAG SpeedUp Team is back on track today, again at the Autodromo International do Algarve, for free practice for the Portuguese Grand Prix, the first round of this season.

Alonso López started FP1 with the ninth time in 1’43.629, finding an excellent feeling with his Boscoscuro bike. In the afternoon he managed to improve his time until he reached the eighth position of the Portuguese Friday in 1’42.920; shame about the crash at turn 5 on the last lap, in which he could have finished among the first. The Madrilenian has worked a lot with his team and is ready and determined to fight for tomorrow’s qualifying.

The young Fermín showed that he is in good shape by taking the fifth fastest time during the morning session and confirming his competitiveness in the afternoon, where he finished in tenth place in 1’43.039, +0.648 from the leader. Team 54’s goal is to keep working hard to get ready for Sunday’s race.

LOPEZ #21: 8^th in 1’42.920

“I’m super happy with how today went because we’re confirming the sensations we had at the end of last season. I was very sorry about the crash during the last laps because I could have finished FP2 in the top positions. We certainly have all the potential and possibilities to make it tomorrow.

I thank the team who worked hard these days and allowed me to finish in the top 10 today.”

ALDEGUER #54: 10^th in 1’43.039

“I’m quite happy with how it went today because my sensations are positive, we just need to improve a few details on the bike to be more relaxed on the track.

The pace with which we used the new tire at the end of FP2 gave excellent results.

If we maintain this level of growth, we could easily reach the front line. We’ll see how tomorrow goes, let’s stay positive.”
