FREE PRACTICES: WORKING DAY IN LE MANS FOR LÓPEZ AND ALDEGUER

The Grand Prix of France has started today at the legendary Le Mans circuit with the change of livery for the SpeedUp team which in the French weekend wears the MB Conveyors colours.

On the first day of free practices, Alonso López finished thirteenth, while Aldeguer stopped in p24.

Positive day for the new entry of the team who brought his Boscoscuro bike in a provisional Q2. Alonso immediately found a good feeling with the team and the bike, closing FP1 with the tenth time in 1’36.797 (+0.689). A slight crash during the second free practice session hampered Alonso’s progress causing him to lose the feeling of the morning without being able to improve the time by ending the day in p13.

A more complicated start for Aldeguer on his first outing on the Le Mans circuit with a Moto2. The young rider started the French Grand Prix with the fifteenth time obtained at the end of FP1 in 1’37.152 (+1.044) but also for him the afternoon session proved to be more treacherous and without improvements to the set-up of the bike, slipping up to p24 of the combined classification.

ALONSO LÓPEZ #21: 13th in 1’36.797

“Today I’m quite happy with how our first day went, especially in FP1 where I felt really good with the bike and with the team. In FP2 we wanted to follow this line but after a good start we suffered a slight crash which prevented us from improving the sensations of the morning. In any case, tomorrow we will try to find the way and the feeling of FP1 again”.

FERMÍN ALDEGUER #54: 24th in 1’37.152

“Complicated day! We weren’t able to get a good time to qualify in provisional Q2 and to find a good setting on my bike. Tomorrow we have another chance and we hope that the weather will remain as stable as today so we will continue to work to find the solution to today’s problems”.
