ALCOBA AND ROSSI ON SIMILAR PACE IN VALENCIA FREE PRACTICE
It was not a smooth day for Team Kömmerling Gresini Moto3 who is currently at Valencia for the final Grand Prix of the season with the duo of Riccardo Rossi and Jeremy Alcoba. Both riders struggled to get up to speed due to the cold temperatures and strong winds.
Alcoba and Rossi lapped on very similar times, with the Spaniard heading the latter by a mere 0.012secs. There are obviously higher expectations for tomorrow starting from FP3 – with the direct seed to Q2 slightly more than half a second away.
JEREMY ALCOBA #52
“I’m a bit disappointed because I set the same times both with very used tyres and new ones. To adapt to the bike is surely not easy but it’s about finding the right position on the bike and the right reference points.”
RICCARDO ROSSI #54
“Race-pace wise we’re not in a bad place, but I didn’t manage to complete a lap without traffic and on paper we’re very far from the top. We worked for the race and we know that the right tyre option will be the softer one.”
