My fast lap wasn\u2019t bad, but on a circuit like Le Mans every hundredth counts, and with just a few tenths\u2019 delay I ended up on the fourth row. The race was difficult, and when riding in the slipstream it\u2019s easy to make line mistakes, especially there. We did the maximum, picked up a couple of points, and if tomorrow we can make a small step forward in the warm-up, we can aim for a good result \u2014 weather permitting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>FERMIN ALDEGUER #54<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThis morning with the used tyre things didn\u2019t go badly at all; I was close to Alex\u2019s lap times. But with the new tyre I\u2019m struggling this year. In the race, partly thanks to our own work and partly because of a few crashes ahead, we managed a good comeback. The important thing is that we found the feeling and pace again, and tomorrow we hope for dry conditions, which would be very important to continue the work we\u2019ve been doing this weekend.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ALEX MARQUEZ #73 \u201cSaturday was made more difficult by an important mistake I made in qualifying.
