FREE PRACTICES: ALDEGUER AND LÓPEZ FAST ON AUSTRIAN FRIDAY

CAG SpeedUp is back on track today at the Red Bull Ring, kicking off the Austrian Grand Prix, event number thirteenth of the Moto2 World Championship.

Fast already on the first day the two Boscoscuro bikes led by Alonso López and Fermín Aldeguer who finished the first day respectively in fifth and eighth position.

The number 21 of CAG SpeedUp finished the morning practice with the eighteenth time in 1’35.950 (+0.950). Having identified the cause of the cornering problems, Alonso returned to the track in the afternoon, finishing two excellent runs: the first with used hard tire and the second with new soft tire, trying to be fast in both situations. P5 at the end of the day in the provisional combined ranking for López in 1’34.898 (+0.545).

Fermín immediately found good sensations on a track that was completely new to him. P9 in FP1 in 1’35.465 to +0.465 from the first. The number 54 also managed to be incisive both with used and new tires in the afternoon session in which he finished with an excellent p7 in 1’35.087 (+0.734), p8 of the combined sessions.

ALONSO LÓPEZ #21: 5^th in 1’34.898

“I am happy with this first day because we managed to finish with good sensations despite the set-up problems we had in the first session. The changes made to the bike before FP2 have greatly changed the driving sensations on the track, I immediately felt at ease and faster. I am therefore very happy with today’s fifth position; we will continue to work in this direction!”.

FERMÍN ALDEGUER #54: 8^th in 1’35.087

“Happy with the sensations I had today. We are gradually getting closer to the driving and the feeling we want. There are still some points on which we have to work tomorrow in the last free practice sessions, but for now we are satisfied with the work done. Let’s go on like this!”.
