TOP TEN FOR ALCOBA AND RODRIGO IN DAY ONE AT #EMILIAROMAGNAGP  

It takes a moment to go from rookie to veteran… In only a week, Jeremy Alcoba went from being 23rd in the combined times of last round’s opening day to become one of the absolute protagonists of the #SanMarinoGP and, today, of the free practice sessions of #EmiliaRomagnaGP. 

The Spanish rider shone in particular this morning as he ended up second in the opening session of the day (despite the 15-minute penalty from entering the track) and, by being sixth at the end of the day, he is almost granted a direct seed to tomorrow’s Q2.


A similar path was taken by Gabriel Rodrigo, who was very quick in the morning and close to the leaders, while his afternoon progression was halted by a crash in all way similar to the one occurred last Friday: a lowside at turn 16 and a lot of time lost in the final part of the session.

The direct access to Q2 should be a formality also for the #2 rider of Team Kömmerling Gresini Moto3 even though there’ll be a ninth place to defend in tomorrow morning’s FP3, which get underway at 9:00 local time (GMT +2).

6th – JEREMY ALCOBA #52 (1’42.126)

“We did a good job: this morning, with the hard tyre, we set some good lap-times and without slipstream. I thought I was going to struggle less in the afternoon, but with the hard tyre it wasn’t easy. Once I put the soft tyre on I feel great with an incredible first split, but unfortunately due to a bit too much traffic I couldn’t set a good time – I was sure we could have made it in the top three.”

9th – GABRIEL RODRIGO #2 (1’42.212)

“We went well this morning and in the afternoon we worked on our race pace, with good results. We had a small crash, nothing too important. The real pity was to find traffic with the new tyre, otherwise we would have been a lot higher in the timesheets.”
