MB CONVEYORS SPEED UP

NAVARRO AND MONTELLA AT WORK ON THE FIRST FREE PRACTICE DAY OF THE GRAND PRIX OF QATAR

MB Conveyors SpeedUp has started the 2021 Moto2 season well with Jorge Navarro finishing tenth on the first day of free practice at the Losail International Circuit in Doha, Qatar. The rookie Yari Montella, on his debut in Moto2, ended in 28th position on Qatar’s Friday.

After the encouraging results of the latest tests in Qatar, Navarro confirms himself at ease with his Boscoscuro B-21 bike. The first session did well, p13 in 2’01.079 (+0.774) with an excellent 2’00.683 cancelled due to the yellow flag. In FP2, Jorge used almost the entire session to improve the setting and in the last minutes of the session he looked for the fastest lap, finishing in tenth place with a time of 1’59.566 at +0.597 from the top of the standings.

Yari Montella, on his first weekend of the Moto2 World Championship, closed the first session with the seventeenth time in 2’00.314, +1.009. In the second round the number 5 and his team found some more difficulties than in FP1. They lower the morning chrono to 2’00.419 but not enough to maintain the position by closing the day in p28.

“Today was a rather complicated day for me mainly due to the track conditions, different from the test in both sessions. We therefore had to adapt as much as possible. We worked a lot on the bike in both FP1 and FP2 and we still have a lot of work to complete in the last session tomorrow morning. On the other hand, the fastest lap sought and scored at the end of FP2 was positive, with which I hope to have ensured access to Q1 so that I can take advantage of the FP3 with confidence to improve our package and be ready for the race!”.

“This morning we started very well, we improved with every change made to the bike setting although the track conditions were not the most ideal. In FP2 we tried to solve the problems encountered in the first session by focusing above all on my driving. The first run went well, but in the second I didn’t have a good feeling with the bike. We are understanding why but we are still confident for tomorrow”.
