  1. 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.”

     

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

    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.”

  4. FOUR OF A KIND, DEUCES, FOR ALEX COURTESY OF A SECOND PALCE IN TERMAS

    Posted on

    ALEX MARQUEZ #73
    “It was another great Sunday, maybe the first one in which I really thought I could win. It didn’t happen, but still, it’s a historical day, another one. I knew where I was faster and where I was losing to Marc, but it didn’t go as planned and we know we gave our best. Four second place finishes in the first four races are easier said than done… and never in my wildest dreams I would have imagined that. Let’s continue this way.”
     
    FERMIN ALDEGUER #54
    “Too bad, because with the long-lap penalty the race was kind of compromised already. We even had a good start and then, in the best time, while I was behind the faster group and ready to learn, I had to perform the penalty. I re-joined with a good pace but then a coming together with another rider made me lose some focus. We need to improve in many areas, especially under braking, but today I can say that, compared to Thailand, I saw some improvements. Still not result-wise, but we need to be patient.”
