FREE PRACTICES: NAVARRO FOURTH, LOPEZ TWENTIETH IN THE DUTCH GRAND PRIX
The first day of free practices of the Dutch Grand Prix, scheduled for this weekend at the legendary TT Assen circuit, saw Jorge Navarro set fourth, while Alonso Lopez finished the two sessions in twentieth.
In FP1 in the morning, the number nine of the + EGO SpeedUp team proved to be fast right from the first outing on track. Jorge and his team planned two runs for the first session with a total of 20 laps done and took the fourth fastest time at the end of the session in 1’37.269. FP2 started in the rain but due to a technical problem Jorge had to return to the +EGO SpeedUp garage after a few laps.
A positive start to the weekend for Alonso Lopez, substitute for the injured Yari Montella for this grand prix.
The Madrilenian finished the Dutch Friday with the twentieth time in 1’38.104 obtained during FP1. Alonso then faced FP2 in the wet for the first time with the Boscoscuro B-21, closing the session with the seventeenth time.
JORGE NAVARRO # 9: 4th in 1’37.269
“The day started well. This morning the feeling with my Boscoscuro bike was good, we worked well in the first session and finished with the fourth fastest time. In the afternoon, in wet conditions, we had a technical problem with the bike which caused us not to be able to ride a lot. The wet feeling wasn’t great, but we had too little time to test the bike. If it rains tomorrow, we will take advantage of the third free practice session to adapt to the conditions. In any case, I am satisfied with this first day!”.
ALONSO LOPEZ # 2: 20th in 1’38.104
“I am quite happy with this first day because we have improved a lot from Barcelona! Unfortunately, they cancelled the best lap for hitting the green, otherwise we would have been in Q2. In the rain it was more complicated than expected because I’m not used to riding in the wet with this bike, but after a few laps I already felt better and managed to improve. Tomorrow we must certainly do more and give 100% in qualifying”.
