FREE PRACTICES: POSITIVE START FOR + EGO SPEEDUP RIDERS IN THE GP OF GERMANY
The German Grand Prix has started today, the eighth round of the Moto2 World Championship.
SpeedUp Racing changed its name and livery for this weekend in Germany and starts this weekend representing the colours of + EGO, the prestigious brand of the Sifar Group for years alongside the Italian team.
Challenging but positive day for both teams in which technicians and riders worked together to find the right set-up for their Boscoscuro bikes.
Thirteenth place for Jorge Navarro who started the first free practice well (p8 in 1’25.390 to +0.517), but struggled more in the afternoon session also due to the extremely high and unusual temperatures in Germany. Jorge ended the first day in p13 with a time of 1’25.162.
At his first grand prix at the Sachsenring, Aldeguer still amazes, not so much for the position at the end of the day but for the great ability to learn and adapt to the bike that the young Spaniard demonstrates at every exit on this very technical track characterized by multiple ups and downs and tight turns. Twenty-first place for Fermín in FP1 in 1’25.917, while in the second round due to a crash he closed Friday’s FP in p27 in 1’25.906.
JORGE NAVARRO # 9: 13th in 1’25.162
“Very high temperatures in this first day, conditions we have never seen here in Germany. This morning we started quite well, only a few problems that we hoped to solve in the afternoon session, but that didn’t go as we thought when we got back on track because the feeling had worsened. Tomorrow we have to work well to try to fix the set-up of the bike in view of qualifying!”
FERMÍN ALDEGUER # 54: 27th in 1’25.906
“First day a bit complicated, it’s a new track for me. In the first session I felt pretty good, but in the afternoon, we made a change to the bike that didn’t help us with the feeling and after the crash I was no longer able to lower the time. In any case, happy with this first day, let’s keep working!”.
