The young Spanish rider guided his Mistral 610 around the track to a best time of 1.53,905 which was just half a second from the top ten with the top 16 competitors being covered by only a second.

“Once again qualifying turn out to be a tricky experience for me. We have worked well all weekend but unfortunately our grid position is not reflected from all of our efforts. Still I can be satisfied with my performance because I managed to ride a good lap time and to finish only a second from the front is altogether encouraging. I find this track to be quite a challenging one as it is very technical and fast flowing. Despite feeling a little bit nervous at the beginning, I now feel upbeat about tomorrow’s race and how everything has panned out. It will be long and tough but I will try to relax and enjoy it as much as possible whilst collecting some more points for the Tech3 Racing Team.”
