Augusto Fernandez, Spanish rider for GASGAS Factory Racing Tech3 finished the day in 23rd and last position in the free practice sessions and will have to go through Q1.
The Spanish rider admitted it had been a difficult day with some difficulties on the soft tires – “I couldn’t improve in the last session, not even in the time attack. While I was on the medium tires the pace wasn’t bad, but as soon as I put the soft tires on I had too much grip and I lost all pace with some difficulties braking and cornering’.
Despite the less positive result today, the Spanish driver was motivated and wanted to do better, adding that the soft tires will be the option for tomorrow: “Tomorrow we’ll go into qualifying and most likely the Sprint with the soft tires, so I have to adapt myself and the bike better to these tires.
