  1. BREAKING NEWS: NO PODIUM FOR ALEX, TOP 5 FINISH FOR FERMIN, WHO CONFIRMS HIS TOP-LEVEL STATUS

    Posted on

    ALEX MARQUEZ #73
    “It’s a shame for how this race went. I must apologise to Diggia because it was my mistake of calculation, and I believe the penalty was correct. I was forced to a comeback race and we must be happy with this sixth position: these are valuable points for the championship although there’s very little to celebrate. We’re heading to Jerez with a still solid weekend in our bag.”

    FERMIN ALDEGUER #54
    “I’m very happy with this race and for the whole weekend. We have been competitive, we wanted the top ten and we finished with a fourth and a fifth. I put a lot of energy at halfway point to catch Zarco and Morbidelli, and I had nothing left in the tank in the end to overtake them. In any case I’m happy with my race craft.”

  2. AN ALMOST PERFECT SPRINT RACE: ALEX AGAIN SECOND, FERMIN NARROWLY MISSES OUT ON PODIUM FINISH

    Posted on

    ALEX MARQUEZ #73
    “We gave it a try today, but it wasn’t doable. I didn’t want to overtake him at that braking spot, but Marc did it earlier to pass me back and the attack finished there. I almost crashed at turn two while I was still close to him, and that’s when I realised it wasn’t the case to take risks. We bagged some more important points for the championship and gathered valuable data ahead of tomorrow’s race. Today Marc was faster than us and we must be happy with how it went.”

    FERMIN ALDEGUER #54
    “I’m very happy, I knew I could do a great race. I had the doubt on whether to use the soft or the medium tyre, I chose to be brave and it paid dividends. We were very quick in the last part and we have been feeling good so far this weekend – from the get-go. I’m learning a lot and quickly by racing with the frontrunners. We’ll try again tomorrow and push hard to be in the top five.”

     

  3. MARQUEZ SHOW IN TEXAN SPRINT

    Posted on

    ALEX MARQUEZ #73
    “I’m very happy with this sprint race even though I’ll admit that I was expecting a bit more from the second group of riders behind Marc. We had a good pace with 6-7 seconds of margin over the second group. I managed to keep Pecco at bay over the race distance and it was a fun race: I learned a lot behind Marc, who is really strong at this track. At the start I was both good and lucky, and obviously tomorrow we’ll try for a repeat performance even though the track conditions have changed a lot in these two days and it’s not easy to adapt.”
     
    FERMIN ALDEGUER #54
    “I try to do my best in qualifying by making the most of Marc’s slipstream, but I made a small mistake and ended up last in Q2, which is still my best qualifying position to date. The sprint race was on the other hand an excellent one: we started well and we had the pace to battle for points, but unfortunately a coming together with Marini made cost me the front fairing as well as the left wing, and it was a whole lot different race from then on. Having said that, I’m happy: we need to have the same start tomorrow and make no mistakes.”

     

  4. ALEX CONTINUES TO IMPRESS, MAIDEN DIRECT SEED TO Q2 IN THE PREMIER CLASS FOR FERMIN

    Posted on

    4th - ALEX MARQUEZ #73
    “This was surely the best Friday of the season. It was important to find the right feeling in every condition and especially to not make any mistakes: we managed to do so, we secured Q2 comfortably and now we can focus on doing well also on Saturday. There’s a lot of work to do, especially with regards to tyres in dry conditions, but we must be happy and stay focused. Tomorrow will be an interesting day, and surely a challenging one for everyone.”
     
    5th - FERMIN ALDEGUER #54
    “I’m very happy because this was my first time in wet conditions, and I felt good. I was expecting a wet Practice session, but the track was very different, and I was able to ride without thinking too much about the bike also in these conditions, in a more instinctive way. I made a few mistakes with the dry track, but the important thing was to secure the direct seed to Q2 to turn our attention on our race pace and track references. The start will be crucial here, so qualifying will basically be the most important session of the weekend.”
