Direct appointment for Q2
Friday of Evidence relatively positive at home VR46 in Austin, where the two riders of Valentino Rossi's team earned their points direct access to Q2 after the green light of the qualifying session which will come on this evening at 5.50 pm Italian time. After a complicated start especially for Fabio Di Giannantoniothe Roman driver managed to redeem himself in the Texan afternoon, setting a time valid for the 9th place finish.
Bezzecchi closes the top-10
A session in which he will then find his teammate Marco Bezzecchiauthor of a good performance especially during the morning and 10th in the final ranking, last of the drivers to have a gap of less than second and right behind the other VR44: “A positive first day here at COTA, I'm quite happy – commented the Rimini native – shame about the yellow flag at the end, I couldn't complete my second time attack, but I'm satisfied to be in the top ten. The pace is good and I'm positive. We worked a lot at home, both from a technical and physical point of view, and the feedback is positive.”
Problems resolved in the afternoon
Di Giannantonio was also satisfied, despite some problems encountered in the first part of the day and with a headache felt in the break between the two practice sessions: “This morning we didn't start out too fast, I didn't have a great feeling with the front – has explained – then in the afternoon, David, my technical boss, made a change that made me immediately gain confidence, we managed to take a big step forward and I can say that we are on the right path. Just before the second round I started having a bad headache, I didn't feel very good, but once on the track I achieved my goal. Q2 is always crucial, starting in the first two rows will be even more crucial: considering the first corner and the hairpins where anything can happen.
