Positive qualifying for Barbera to secure 10th spot on the grid
It was a positive qualifying session for Héctor Barberà and the Pramac Racing Team at the Motorland Aragon. After three free practice sessions characterized by wet conditions, the rain gives all the MotoGP riders a break, just in time for the qualifying session to decide the starting grid for tomorrow’s 23-laps race.
During the sixty-minute qualifying, Héctor was able to achieve a good 10th place, putting in a big effort and improving his confidence with the bike lap after lap. Tomorrow the Pramac Racing Team will use the twenty-minute warm up to refine the best bike set up, helping Héctor to improve also his confidence.
Héctor Barberà 10th place in 151.072 I would like to explain my feelings after this tough period, but it’s too difficult. Probably only a rider may be able to understand me. Getting back to the track after six-week absence it seems like getting back aboard on the bike after the winter break! Despite that I’m confident about tomorrow’s race because I’m feeling better lap after lap and I was able to improve also my best lap time as consequence.
Marco Rigamonti - Track Engineer Pramac Racing Team Héctor struggled to find the right confidence with the bike, but after several runs to test especially himself he was able to display his riding ability and I’m sure that tomorrow we can achieve a positive result.
