ALDEGUER NEVER CEASES TO AMAZE AND TAKES HIS THIRD CONSECUTIVE POLE AT SEPANG

In Sepang, Aldeguer leaves everyone speechless by obtaining the third consecutive pole of this season. On the side of the box, López finishes his qualifying with the fifteenth time.

After the Australian and Thai Grand Prix, Aldeguer closed the Malaysian qualifying by signing his third pole position. With this result, Fermín can claim to be the first rider in the history of Moto2 to have achieved first place in qualifying three times in a row. Already from FP3 in the morning, the Beta Tools Speedup rider left his mark with a fantastic first time of 2’05.319. After dominating the last free practice session, Fermín also gave 100% in Q2 and thanks to a time of 2’05.288 he took pole with over half a second ahead of the other drivers on the front row.

A difficult day for López who, despite the good pace, was unable to finish the day in the top 10. The Madrilenian finished the third free practice in P13 (2’06.117) of the combined standings and after entered Q2 in the afternoon he finished fifteenth in 2’06.641. Alonso will start tomorrow from the fifth row of the starting grid.

ALDEGUER #54: 1st in 2’05.288

“I’m happy with today’s result but even more with the feeling on the Boscoscuro. These last two races have been a crescendo with my bike in terms of sensations. I saw that I didn’t make many mistakes and this is important for the race. Tomorrow we could have the whole track to ourselves and with the pace we have we can definitely have fun. Thanks to my team who continues to work to guarantee me the best conditions on the track”.

LÓPEZ #21: 15th in 2’06.641

“I didn’t expect this result because the pace was there yesterday. During the first laps of FP3 I felt competitive but then, when I changed tyres, I wasn’t able to improve my time. In qualifying we tried a new setting and it didn’t go as we thought. We are ready to give our best in tomorrow’s race.”.
