I felt really comfortable, to the point of setting the fastest time and securing access to Q2. I was confident I could repeat that performance and fight for a good grid position, but instead I struggled to find the same feeling again and wasn\u2019t able to put together a strong lap. Tomorrow we will therefore have to come through from eighteenth position on the grid.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>MILAN PAWELEC #40<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI am really happy for this opportunity, but first of all I want to send my thoughts to Alonso Lopez and wish him a speedy recovery. I want to thank everyone; being here in Brno is a dream come true for me. I also had a wildcard appearance here last year, but we don\u2019t have a lot of experience with this bike yet. The goal today was therefore to keep improving and enjoy the experience: the team is extremely well organised, and I am adapting lap by lap to the bike. In qualifying we managed to improve again during the first run, but unfortunately in the second outing I was on my own and couldn\u2019t lower my lap time further. Now we focus on tomorrow: we will start from the back, but we will give our best and try to enjoy the race!\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Qualifying \u2013 CzechGP<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">18th &#8211; <strong>Sergio Garcia #3 <\/strong>\u2013 2\u201909.815 (+12.097 Q2) \u2013 (1\u201958.559 Q1)<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">24th &#8211; <strong>Milan Pawelec #40 <\/strong>\u2013 1\u201959.370s (+0.811s Q1)<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Free Practice 2 &#8211; CzechGP<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">18th &#8211; <strong>Sergio Garcia #3 <\/strong>&#8211; 1\u201959.145s (+1.167s)<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">26th &#8211; <strong>Milan Pawelec #40 <\/strong>\u2013 2\u201900.064s (+2.086s)<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SERGIO GARCIA #3 \u201cToday we made a big step forward compared to yesterday, and this afternoon in Q1 the feeling with the bike improved even more.
