ALON-SHOW AT RICARDO TORMO CIRCUIT: POLE POSITION AND TRACK RECORD. ALDEGUER EIGHTH DESPITE THE CRASH

The Beta Tools SpeedUp Team never ceases to amaze and the third pole position of the season arrives at the Ricardo Tormo circuit, but this time it is Alonso Lopez who takes the stage: the Madrid-born signed his first-ever pole position, also setting the track record, 1’34.314.

Fermín Aldeguer seals the third row with the eighth time despite the crash at the start of qualifying.

The Beta Tools SpeedUp riders took to the track this morning with very clear ideas, demonstrating all the work done done together with their technicians. P4 and p6 for Alonso and Fermín respectively at +0.194 and +0.424 from the first to the end of the three free practice sessions, and for both direct access to Q2.

Qualifying beggan and López immediately made it clear where he wanted to go by scoring what will later be the track record on the second lap. He returned to the pits, changed the rear tire and reconfirmed the same time as before: 1’34.314 (unbelievable).

Aldeguer and the team managed to recover, well and in record time, from the crash at turn 3 of the third lap, returning to the track less than two minutes from the end and scoring an excellent 1’34.771 in the only lap available. Number #54 will start tomorrow from the third row in eighth position.

ALONSO LÓPEZ #21: 1^st in 1’34.314

“Awesome! We have always come very close to pole position and finally we made it and I’m really happy with it. Tomorrow I will give my best as always, it will not be an easy race but we will fight with all our strength from the start. I want to thank all the people who are supporting me in these days, the warmth of home is really motivating me!”.

FERMÍN ALDEGUER #54: 8^th in 1’34.771

“I’m happy despite the crash, it helped me to realize we were making a mistake. In the end we managed to save the starting position for tomorrow, we have a good pace and we can enjoy the home cheer in tomorrow’s race. I’m sure we can go there and get a good result!”
