TOP 3 RESULT FOR SALAČ ON DAY ONE IN PORTUGAL

Free Practice – #PortugueseGP   It has been an excellent start to the season for Team Moto2 QJMOTOR GRESINI RACING, who sees Filip Salač third-quickest in the combined times of today’s two FP. After an opening session that was affected by adverse weather conditions, the rider #12 managed to immediately set a good lap time at the start of Free Practice 2, while showing the good work done with the team during winter testing. With today’s third place, Salač is currently in the group of riders eligible for a direct seed to Q2, although FP3 could make a difference: it will be therefore important for the Czech rider to stay focused and build on today’s encouraging performance. 

Jeremy Alcoba did a good job in today’s opening session, which drew to an early close due to some drops of rain. He had more of a difficult time in FP2 and is currently out of the ‘Q2 lot’ for only 42 thousandths of a second. The rider #52 will have another chance tomorrow, during FP3, to bounce back and avoid Q1. 

3rd – FILIP SALAČ #12 (1’42.730)

“This is the first official day of action for the 2023 season and things went better than expected – with a top-three result. It was quite a challenging day as we weren’t expecting rain in the first session. I’m happy with the result, however, and we need to keep working as good as we’ve done during testing: we showed today the good job done. We’re having fun!”

15th – JEREMY ALCOBA #52 (1’43.446)

“This morning we completed only a few laps but the feeling with the soft front / hard rear combination was good. This afternoon I struggled a bit more at the start of the session, but things improved after an adjustment we made. We’re out of Q2 but only for 42 milliseconds. There’s still a lot of work to do in order to be able to improve tomorrow and make up some positions: it won’t be easy because we’re all very close lap-time wise at this track after three days of testing. Let’s see how it goes tomorrow!”
