IN MOTEGI THE BETA TOOLS SPEEDUP CLOSES QUALIFYING IN THE TOP 10
Qualifying at the Motegi Mobility Circuit saw Alonso López and Fermin Aldeguer snatched the second and third rows of the starting grid, in sixth and ninth position respectively.
Difficult start for number 21 who ended the last free practice session early due to a crash in turn 1. With nineteenth position, Alonso therefore had to face Q1 in the afternoon where he set the best time of the session: 1′ 50,089. The commitment of team 21 also continued in Q2 where, in fact, with a time of 1’50.150 (+0.252), López took sixth position and the second row of the starting grid.
Fermín’s performance was excellent in the first session of the morning in which he managed to overcome the difficulties encountered the previous day and work well with the new tyre. In fact, the rider 54 closed FP3 with the fifth fastest time in 1’50.586. In Q2 Aldeguer continued to make the desired progress by reducing the time previously set. With the ninth time of 1’50.362, the number 54 will start the fourteenth race of the championship from the third row.
