Q2 was also challenging for David Almansa, who crashed at the start of the session, not being able to set a time and qualifying 18th with his 2’24.442 from yesterday’s Practice. Adrián Fernández, for his part, qualified in 9th position with a time of 2’14.979, starting tomorrow’s race from the third row of the grid.
The most important day of the weekend awaits!

“The track conditions were not the best this morning, with some wet patches that made things a bit more difficult. Despite of this, I felt very good on the bike, putting in a good rhythm as well. Later in Q2, I tried and set the time on my own. We lacked a few more laps in dry conditions, but we’ll give it our best tomorrow anyway!”

Adrián Fernández

9th

“Today has been a challenging day. I had two crashes, one in the morning and the other in qualifying, which prevented me from accumulating laps to find a good feeling in dry conditions. Therefore, I expect tomorrow’s race to be tough, but I will give my 100% to do the best possible race”
