LIGHTECH SPEED UP

QUALIFYING: FIFTH AND TENTH ROW FOR THE LIGHTECH SPEED UP TEAM

Today the LighTech Speed ​​Up riders went back to action at the Red Bull Ring in Spielberg to determine their position on tomorrow’s starting grid.

Small step forward for Jorge during the third free practice in the morning in which he took the ninth time of the session and of the combined free practices in 1’28.729 with a gap of +0.576 from the first. The ninth position allowed Navarro to go directly to Q2. The feeling in qualifying was not the same as in the morning, but the Spaniard managed to find a good lap at the beginning of the QP with which he qualified in p14. Fifth row therefore for Jorge Navarro on the starting grid of tomorrow’s race.

Several changes were carried out by Yari and his technicians to understand how to solve the difficulties encountered, but the progress achieved did not lead to a good qualifying. Tenth row for team5 in p28.

JORGE NAVARRO #9: 14th in 1’29.380

“Today was a pretty good day. This morning we were able to find some changes that gave me more stability on the bike and thanks to which I was able to improve my fastest lap. This afternoon the feeling was different for the higher temperatures and unfortunately I was unable to finish a good lap. We are all very close, I am sure that tomorrow will be a very competitive race, can’t wait to it!”

YARI MONTELLA #5: 28th in 1’29.671

“Neither good nor bad day. We are trying to find the solution that allows me to ride better because we still don’t have the feeling to be able to compete. We have made a small step forward since last week, but as we have improved the others have also improved and therefore it is not enough, we have to do more”.
