He finished the day in 16<sup>th<\/sup> place. The Czech rider is only one tenth away from the top 14 and despite all, his feeling aboard the Kalex machine #12 is good: he will have another chance for a direct seed to Q2 tomorrow.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Jeremy Alcoba<\/b> struggled to put all the pieces of the puzzle together and was only 22<sup>nd<\/sup> at the end of today\u2019s two practice sessions. The different conditions encountered in the second session \u2013 with clean track and better grip, which added to the extra variable of racing under floodlights at nighttime \u2013 have made life difficult for the Spanish rider, who will need to work with the team ahead of tomorrow\u2019s qualifying.<\/p>\n<p><b>16<\/b><b><sup>th<\/sup><\/b><b> &#8211; FILIP SALA\u010c #12 (1&#8217;59.595)<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a difficult day: this morning, the grip level was very low and that made our life quite hard. It did improve during FP2 and we chose to go for the time attack in order to seal a spot in Q2, but I struggled to find the right confidence with the gearshift, and therefore I couldn\u2019t push at the very limit. This cost us the provisional seed to Q2 but the bike set-up is good, I\u2019m happy and I know we can do better tomorrow!\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>22<\/b><b><sup>nd<\/sup><\/b><b> &#8211; JEREMY ALCOBA #52 (1&#8217;59.991)<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe track was very dirty this morning and it was hard to find the right feeling.
