He will start tomorrow\u2019s two races from ninth place on the grid, ready to bounce back.<\/p>\n<p><b>Alessio Finello<\/b> also had a solid performance as he narrowly missed out on a direct seed to Q2 for only three tenths of a second. He then had a challenging Q1, in which he struggled to get up to speed and replicate the time set in free practice: the rider #72 will start the two encounters of the #CatalanGP from row five, with the top ten being the clear goal for both races.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>9<\/b><b><sup>th<\/sup><\/b><b> &#8211; MATTEO FERRARI #11 (1&#8217;53.718)<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m quite happy with this opening day as it was my best Friday performance so far this year. I\u2019m sorry for how qualifying went as we wanted to start the two races as close as possible to the front of the grid in order to stay with the leading group in the early stages, but unfortunately I waited a little too long and when I tried to push, maybe due to cold tyres, I had a small crash at turn one. It\u2019s a pity: we\u2019ll start tomorrow\u2019s races from ninth place, but we showed a good pace in FP2. We\u2019ll try to have the best races we can and battle for the podium, which is our goal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>14<\/b><b><sup>th<\/sup><\/b><b> &#8211; ALESSIO FINELLO #72 (1&#8217;49.159)<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe struggled here last year as Barcelona is not among my favourite tracks. This morning, instead, we had quite a good start, then in FP2 we made a major step and got really close to the front runners. Too bad for qualifying: unfortunately, I couldn\u2019t find the rhythm as it was hectic out on track and I couldn\u2019t lap with the same speed as during free practice. I\u2019ll start from fourteenth place on the grid: I\u2019ll try my best to make up as many positions as possible; we\u2019re fast and it\u2019s showing. We\u2019ll have to capitalise tomorrow with two good races.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Matteo Ferrari has regained speed and feeling with his electric Ducati machine: following a sub-par start to the season, he is back in the battle for the first positions, securing&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":35816,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[67,69],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-35822","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-motoe-en","category-race-report-motoe-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.3 -
