In the Portuguese qualifying, the riders of the Beta Tools SpeedUp team made headlines by conquering the first (Aldeguer) and second (López) row of the starting grid for tomorrow’s race.

Fermín showed consistent pace throughout all laps of free practice session 2, recording a time of 1’41.923 which placed him in fourth place in the combined, behind his teammate. In the qualifying session, Aldeguer then achieved the second best time thanks to a time of 1’41.648, just +0.134 from the new track record. The number 54 has once again demonstrated his abilities and tomorrow he will return to savor the race starting from the front row on the grid.

Alonso demonstrated confidence on his Boscoscuro bike as well as the great work he is doing with his team, obtaining the third time in 1’41.883. In Q2, after the pit stop to change tyres, López returned to the track and took the fourth position in 1’41.929. An excellent result that will see him start from the second row on the grid tomorrow.

FERMÍN ALDEGUER #54: 2nd in 1’41.648

“I’m happy with the front row even though we were hoping to get a pole. From the first lap I felt very comfortable on the Boscoscuro, especially compared to yesterday which wasn’t so easy for us. Today we have much more useful information to manage the tyres well, a point in our favor for tackling the race in the best possible way. The objective for tomorrow is to make a good start with the aim of immediately taking the lead”.

ALONSO LÓPEZ #21: 4th in 1’41.929

“Excellent feelings. I’m a bit annoyed because all the credentials to take the pole were there. I wanted to do too much and this led me to make some mistakes but we know, it can happen. For the race we aim to win, or at least get on the podium”.
