Fourth row for Espargaro at Assen

A positive weekend so far until now for Aleix Espargarò, although today, during the qualification test for the grid of the Dutch Grand Prix, he had the tenth time after that he was seventh yesterday and eighth this morning. Unfortunately there wasn’t a good final lap to gain an important position. Aleix has, in fact, recorded his best time today shortly after the middle of the afternoon session and he wasn’t able to use the last two outgo.

“Despite the tenth position, we further lowered the lap times achieved in the second free practice this morning. We have another jolly that will try tomorrow morning during the warm up. Aleix is doing very good on this circuit and if he will start good in the first sector of the circuit joining the leading group, he will be able to make a very good race. We’ll work hard tonight on the data we have obtained today so that we can help our rider to be one of the leader in the tomorrow race.”

‘Pity for the final position. After the excellent practice results of yesterday and of this morning I thought of being able to gain a better position. I’m happy to have been constantly in the top ten. From these qualifications I have understand that I have a good race pace that I can use during tomorrow’s race. I like a lot this track, I hope to get a good result.”
