MAIDEN DIRECT SEED TO Q2 FOR GARCIA WITH THE ITALJET GRESINI COLOURS
SERGIO GARCIA #3
“It was a really positive opening day: this morning I felt good straight away with the bike, we made a decisive step forward compared to Portugal. I managed to also improve my riding style and the whole of this put together allowed us to earn the direct seed to Q2. I’m sure tomorrow we can make another step forward, but as of now I am happy with this first day at Valencia and I’d like to thank the team who did a good job.”
ALBERT ARENAS #75
“Today unfortunately we weren’t able to put together the fast lap, and it’s a shame because we’ll have to go through Q1 tomorrow. Still, we were strong in every session pace-wise. Now we’ll work also towards the time attack, in order to have a good qualifying tomorrow.”
