CAG SPEEDUP

VALENCIA GP QUALIFYING: TRACK RECORD AND FRONT ROW FOR ALDEGUER. LÓPEZ IN FIFTH

Qualifying for the Gran Premio de la Comunitat Valenciana came to an end with the CAG SpeedUp in second (Aldeguer) and thirteenth (López) position.

Even today the number 54 achieved another great result, closing FP3 with a new track record of 1’33.264. The young rider from Murcia also in Q2 maintained an excellent pace which allowed him to come close to pole position with just +0.174 behind the leader. Fermín will therefore tackle tomorrow’s race starting from the front row of the grid.

A day of ups and downs instead for Alonso who, after finishing FP3 with the fifth fastest time in 1’33.751, began to suffer in qualifying due to the increase in temperatures. In fact, the number 21 of the CAG SpeedUp qualified with the fourteenth time in 1’34.111 and will start from the fifth starting row tomorrow.

 

ALDEGUER #54: 2nd in 1’33.264

“Today we could have fought a little more in qualifying but I am still satisfied with the result because our goal was to get the front row. The pace is there and therefore we will do everything we can tomorrow to make a good start and immediately jump into the lead of all the other riders”.

LÓPEZ #21: 14th in 1’34.354

“I’m not very happy with how Q2 went. This morning I made a great recovery but then in the afternoon we suffered a lot with the change in track temperature. We continue to work to resolve the problem and to try to give our best in tomorrow’s race”.
