DIRECT SEED TO Q2 FOR BOTH MARQUEZ BROTHERS IN AUSTRIA
The #AustrianGP Friday was a kind one for Marc and Alex Marquez, who earned a spot in tomorrow’s Q2 following an excellent performance in Practice at Spielberg, as the finished in fourth and sixth place, respectively. Both riders felt good aboard their Ducati machines especially in the afternoon’s scorching hot conditions.
4th – MARC MARQUEZ #93 (1’28.858s)
“We recovered the good feeling we had missing for a few sessions and in this afternoon’s practice we were strong and close to the leaders. Now we must continue to work in this direction and try to be quick tomorrow as well. We can still do some fine tuning and be among the top riders.”
6th – ALEX MARQUEZ #73 (1’29.056s)
“I must say that we saved the day by getting the direct seed to Q2, but we’ll need to work hard if we want to get a good sleep. The feeling on the track wasn’t the best and we’re still missing something with regards to speed and rear-end grip. We’re happy with the sixth position for today, but we need to keep our heads down because pace-wise we’re still behind compared to our rivals.”
