Zona Motor ID, Cuaca kering dalam qualifikasi motoGP hari kedua, ini seperti yang diharapkan banyak tim balap yang berusaha mencari setingan yang pas untuk motor pacuannya. Karena di hari pertama qualifikasi, Sirkuit Aragon diguyur hujan dan track basah. Di saat waktu yang sempit, semua tim berusaha menyesuaikan setingan motor dengan pembalap mengikuti karakter sirkuit yang termasuk sirkuit berkarakter cepat.
Andrea Iannone berhasil memperbaiki posisi startnya yang awalnya pada urutan ke 14 menjadi urutan ke-10. Berarti Andrea Iannone akan berada di grid ke-4 dalam susunan start pembalap malam nanti.. Dan Andrea Iannone berharap pada saat balapan nanti tetap konsisten berada di group 10 besar pembalap terdepan.
Berbeda dengan Alex Rins yang harus puas pada posisi ke-20 dikarenakan masih belum menemukan setingan yang pas untuk Suzuki GSX-RR tunggangannya.Tetapi dia berharap akan mendapatkan hasil terbaik saat balapan nanti.
Davide Brivio – Team Manager
“With Andrea we managed to get into the top ten and I think that after the last races it is very positive sign. Tomorrow he will be better placed on the grid. We will see what steps we can take in the race regarding the pace. Today we were able to ride on dry conditions and we will have to evaluate what we can do to improve in the race, because there are some aspects in which we can do better. With Alex we were not able to do better, and we expected a better performance. With only one dry day and considering that he does not yet have so much experience, he was not able to get a better result. We will try to take advantage of the warm-up and take some steps to be more prepared for the race.”
Andrea Iannone
“I honestly think one or two tenths better and we could have gotten it, and we probably could have advanced some positions on the grid because the lap times were pretty tight. I failed in the T1 and I went long in the first corner; this is due to the fact that we are always at our limits and close to an error. I think we're even closer than other tracks anyway. And this is more positive, besides I had fun riding and I feel I was able to try and push. We hope that tomorrow we can have a good race and be able to cut off a tenth more to be able to fight with the group.”
Alex Rins
“I am quite happy about how this second day has gone. Today was the first day on dry conditions and I have been struggling a bit, but then I have been improving and I have felt good with the bike. Let's see if we can take a step forward tomorrow during the warm-up so we can be better prepared for the race.”
