Second fastest Pol Espargaro targets further gains in Valencia
Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale.
Fast in the wet and the dry, #polespargaro is determined to give the local Spanish fans something to cheer about this weekend in #valencia.
Just as the #motogp World Championship grid was preparing to head out for their first taste of the Circuit Ricardo Tormo, rain began to fall around the #valencia track. Getting progressively heavier over the course of the morning, #polespargaro ventured out to assess his Honda RC213V in the wet. A productive morning led to the ninth fastest time, 0.731s shy of the top and gained Espargaro and the Repsol Honda Team valuable information. Forecasts suggest the remainder of the weekend will be dry.
In the afternoon, with improved conditions, Espargaro was able to show his speed around #valencia – one of his favourite tracks on the calendar. Improving his pace with each run on track, the #44 set a best time of 1'30.939 for second overall. 0.012s behind Bagnaia, the Repsol Honda Team rider was pushing even harder on his final lap of FP2 to overcome this gap but suffered a fall at Turn 6. Espargaro walked away without injury. Flanked by both factory Ducati machines in the standings, the trio appear to have an early edge of their competition with fourth placed Rins 0.4s back.
Free Practice 3 at 09:55 Local Time on Saturday, November 13 will present #polespargaro with another opportunity to defend his Q2 transfer spot before battling for grid positions later in the day.
Pol Espargaro
SECOND 1'30.939
"We have had a good day today. It started in the wet and I took it a little easy because you can end your weekend in the first session if you're not careful. In the afternoon I was feeling confident on used medium tyres. Overall it was a good second session apart from the small crash we had, but I thought something like this might happen because I was pushing a lot. The track was not in the best condition because of the rain so we have to keep working overnight to raise our level for Qualifying. It's a good start to the weekend and I want to give the Spanish fans in the stands something to cheer about."
