Second Row Start for Rossi on PETRONAS Yamaha SRT Debut
Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale.
Valentino Rossi to start #qatargp as top independent rider from fourth on the grid with #francomorbidelli on the third row in seventh.
It was a strong Saturday for #petronasyamahasepangracingteam, with both #motogp riders lapping under the previous Losail circuit record. #valentinorossi will start his 26th Grand Prix season from the second row of the grid after qualifying fourth, which made him the top independent rider. #francomorbidelli will line up for the #qatargp one row behind in seventh.
Rossi was unable to improve upon his FP2 time during the third #motogp Free Practice session, posting a 1min 55.834secs lap. However, he also joined Franco in Q2, courtesy of his fastest time from Friday. The Italian showed good speed during qualifying, which saw riders separated by the smallest of margins for the majority of the session. At the end of Q2 Vale’s fastest time of 1min 53.114secs placed him fourth, just 0.026secs shy of the front row and 0.342secs away from pole.
Team-mate Morbidelli was once again the rider to watch, as he ended FP3 at the top of the times with a 1min 54.676secs lap. Although, with the hot conditions on track, it was his lap from yesterday that saw him into Q2. Franco was the first rider to take to the circuit for Q2 and stayed close to the top riders in the times. After posting a best time of 1min 53.313secs, the Italian will line up for the first race of the year on the fourth row of the grid in seventh place.
Rossi and Morbidelli will be back on track tomorrow at 3.40pm local time (8.40pm MYT) for Warm Up, with the first Grand Prix weekend of the 2021 season culminating in the #motogp 22-lap race at 8pm local time (1am MYT).
Valentino Rossi
"I’m very happy and it’s a great way to start the season, because I did a very good lap. The second set of tyres had very good grip and the lap time is fantastic. It’s a little bit of a shame to start behind the front row, but P4 for tomorrow will be very important and I’m happy with this. I think during the weekend we have worked very well, yesterday we were able to stay inside the top-ten, but today we struggled a little bit in FP3 and FP4 with the tyres. It looks like the conditions will be different and difficult for the race because we expect strong winds, which can put a lot of sand onto the track. We hope we have good conditions for a good race though."
Franco Morbidelli
"I was hoping for something better but it was a difficult qualifying because I didn’t have the speed for a good time attack, even though I had a good pace in FP4. I tried anyway and I think I could have done a little bit better, but unfortunately I didn’t cross the finish line in time for a second time attack. It looks like we are missing some speed in the evening, so for tomorrow we will try to balance our performance across the day and night. The start of the race is going to be important to try and gain position in the early laps, but we also know there is tyre degradation so we should not see the very fast laps at the beginning."
