QUALIFYING: SECOND AND SEVENTH ROW FOR THE +EGO SPEEDUP TEAM

The riders of the +EGO Speed Up Team have recently concluded the qualifying for the San Marino Grand Prix to determine their starting position for tomorrow’s race.

At the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli, Alonso López and Fermín Aldeguer will take the grid tomorrow in second and seventh positions, respectively.

Despite the crash in the final minutes of FP3, the number 21 gained direct access to Q2 with the tenth time in 1’36.489. After the first qualifying laps and the pit stop, Alonso returned to the track immediately setting an excellent 1’36.487, moving into fifth position. In the last remaining minutes, Alonso lost control of his bike, falling to the ground without serious consequences and thus canceling the possibility of improving his time. Sixth position at +0.286 from the leader for the Madrilenian and second starting row of the San Marinese Grand Prix.

A more complicated day for his teammate who had to face Q1 due to the fifteenth time in the combined free practice standing. Also, in qualifying Aldeguer and his team encountered difficulties in finding the fastest lap. The lack of feeling hindered the rider who was unable to pass the round and with a time of 1’36.992 will start tomorrow from 21st position, seventh row of the grid.

LÓPEZ #21: 6th in 1’36.487

“I’m satisfied because we took a step further during these qualifying sessions. Due to a mistake at the end of Q2 I came close to pole but with the pace we have we can have a great race”.

ALDEGUER #54: 21st in 1’36.992

“I’m not happy with today’s result because I wasn’t able to find the right feeling with my Boscoscuro. Tomorrow I will start in twenty-first position but I will try to recover and do the best race possible.”
