The World Championship leader will start the race, tomorrow at 11.20 AM, aware of having an excellent pace and to be able to fight the victory.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SAM LOWES (1st &#8211; 1\u201942\u201d408) <\/strong><br \/>\n\u201cIt was a very tight qualifying session! I got a good lap time, also completing a lot of fast laps. We worked hard all weekend on used tyres and we have a good race pace: after the positive tests carried out here in the winter we started the weekend with a good base set-up, and the bike is working quite similar to the tests because the conditions are not too hot this weekend, so I feel good and relaxed. It was nice to arrive in Europe leading the standings and obviously it\u2019s nice to get the pole position! Tomorrow we can have a good race and fight for the win!\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><strong>FAUSTO GRESINI <\/strong><br \/>\n\u201cThis pole position is really important and comes after two really positive days of practice, in which Lowes was consistently fast, working well with the team. Sam proved to have everything it takes to win: we completed much of the work and now we just have to wait for the race. We are really happy: thanks to Sam, the team, and also to Kalex, Ohlins and to all our partners\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aboard the Team Federal Oil Gresini Moto2 Kalex machine Sam Lowes clinched the pole position at the end of this afternoon\u2019s hard-fought Qualifying for the Spanish Grand Prix.The 25-year-old British&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":21432,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21,23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1573","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-moto2-en","category-race-report-moto2-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.3 -
