The Czech rider managed to bounce back in the afternoon and finished in 22<sup>nd<\/sup> place with a time of 1\u201934.870secs.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Jeremy Alcoba<\/b>\u2019s day turned out to be a very challenging one, as he was all the way down in 30<sup>th<\/sup> position at the end of the day. The rider #52 did not manage to get up to speed despite numerous set-up changes: further analyzing of the data will be needed in order to find the right direction ahead of P3: he will need to improve by slightly more than a second in order to battle for the direct seed to Q2. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>It was a positive day for <b>Matteo Ferrari<\/b>, who made his Moto2 debut as a wildcard. The feeling by the Rimini-born rider is good, especially with used tyres. He will study the data in the afternoon in order to find the optimal feeling with the new tyre ahead of qualifying, and also how to get the bike stopped the perfect way in the first part of the braking process.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>22<\/b><b><sup>nd<\/sup><\/b><b> &#8211; FILIP SALA\u010c #12 (1&#8217;34.870)<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt wasn\u2019t exactly the day we wanted. At the start of Practice one we had a technical issue, and we were unlucky because we lost the whole session. Then in FP2 I was comfortable in the first run, we improved and we were quick. We may have chosen a wrong strategy in the second outing and that prevented me from improving some more. We will try again tomorrow, and we will do our best as usual.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>28<\/b><b><sup>th<\/sup><\/b><b> &#8211; MATTEO FERRARI #44 (1&#8217;35.184)<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a very positive day and we worked well, too bad that in the last run we didn\u2019t manage to make the most of the new tyres, now we have to find out why. In the first run with used tyres, we did improve our time straight away, so I\u2019m happy. Now we need to keep working in order to get the bike stopped better in the first part of the braking process, aside from that the feeling is good: let\u2019s see how it goes tomorrow!\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>30<\/b><b><sup>th<\/sup><\/b><b> &#8211; JEREMY ALCOBA #52 (1&#8217;35.455)<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a challenging day, maybe the most challenging Friday of the season. We tried many things in order to find the right feeling but we didn\u2019t manage to do so. We\u2019ll study the data now, as tomorrow we need a significant step forward ahead of P3 and especially in qualifying.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Team QJMOTOR GRESINI RACING started on the wrong foot the final weekend of the season, with Filip Sala\u010d forced at the pit-garage after five laps due to a technical problem&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":34613,"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-34615","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 -
