Efren Vazquez takes 15th position out of difficult Silverstone qualifying

Both SAXOPRINT RTG riders had a lot of problems in this morning’s FP3 session in Silverstone. Efren Vazquez was just pipped to the post by teammate John McPhee, as happened yesterday. Efren finished two places further back than John in 20th.

Also qualifying didn’t show much improvement. Both riders are further down the field than they have been all season. Fifteen minutes before the end of the session they only occupied places 13 and 17.

After a stop in the garage and with ten minutes to go, both went back out on track and gave it their all. Unfortunately there was no improvement to position 15 for Efren. Obviously not the best starting position for tomorrow, so both Efren and John will have a lot of catching up to do during the race.

“I am not that disappointed with this qualifying practice. It’s a difficult position for tomorrow’s race but we will search for a better solution during the warm-up. I think we did a good job yesterday and today, because overall we improved the lap times by 3 seconds. We’ll continue working hard and we will have the best race possible tomorrow.”
