HERE COMES DIGGIA, IN Q2 DIRECTLY WITH MARQUEZ
It was a “Light-blue avalanche” in the opening day of practice at Montmeló with Fabio Di Giannantonio finally among the protagonists in the intermediate class, for what was an FP2 spent towards the front of the field. The Italian did well in getting up to speed immediately in the first two runs of the afternoon as he sealed the direct access to Q2 in this 11th event of the season.
Alex Marquez had a somehow opposite path as he worked for the most part of the second session on his race pace, leaving only the last five minutes for a brace of time-attack laps that opened the doors for him to the final qualifying session.
6th – ALEX MARQUEZ #73
“I struggled today… the goal has been achieved, but this is the only positive note from today as I didn’t find the feeling I was hoping for. It’s a track I like a lot, but we didn’t have fun on the bike today. Fortunately, we’re in Q2 and tomorrow morning we’ll have the chance to focus on the feeling with bike. In any case this was our work plan today, now we need a step forward in order to be competitive in qualifying as well as in the sprint race.”
8th – FABIO DI GIANNANTONIO #49
“It’s only Friday, but it’s been a very positive day in which we reaped what we have been deserving for a few races now. The feeling with the bike is good and now we need to confirm the good feeling and turn it into good results tomorrow. I can’t wait to get back on track.”
