QUALI DOHAGP: MB CONVEYORS SPEED UP IN SIXTH AND EIGHTH ROW

MB Conveyors Speed ​​Up riders Jorge Navarro and Yari Montella finished the qualifying of the Grand Prix of Doha, respectively in seventeenth and twenty-second position.

A lot of wind on this second day which brought sand to the track making the driving conditions more complicated.

The last free practice sessions were used by Navarro to test the changes made to the bike in the morning. The time for Q1 arrived and Navarro put all the determination he had in overcoming the first qualifying with the first time in 1’59.592. After a few minutes Jorge returned on track for Q2, but he struggled to close a good lap even though he had a good feeling with the bike. P17 at the end of qualifying and sixth row of tomorrow’s starting grid.

The improvements on the other side of the garage are evident, highlighted by a good fifteenth place in FP3 in the morning and by a decent qualifying in which Montella scored good laps. With a time of 2’00.232 Yari took p22 and thus the eighth row.

JORGE NAVARRO #9: 17^th in 2’00.142

“This morning in FP3 we tried some changes to the bike but with the wind it was not easy to understand if they could do for us. For qualifying we went back to running with our base and in Q1 we were fast, while in Q2 we didn’t manage to do a good lap. Perhaps with a little more conviction we could certainly have done better. Now we will try to understand why the sensations we had on the bike in Q1 were better than those we had in Q2, but in any case, we have to stay positive and do our best to have a good race”.

YARI MONTELLA #5: 22^nd in 2’00.232

“Not bad, I’m almost happy. Just thinking that we could enter Q2 is not bad. We lacked a bit of malice to attack Q2, but we are improving and we are certainly not that far from our target. I definitely feel more confident than yesterday, we can have a good race”.
