MOTOGP - SECOND ROW FOR ALEX RINS IN QATAR QUALIFYING
Alex Rins: 6th - 1:54.339 (+ 0.659)
#andreaiannone: 11th - 1:54.619 (+ 0.939)
• Tricky conditions in early sessions
• #alexrins on second row for tomorrow’s race.
• #andreaiannone building in confidence.
Day 2 at #Losail International Circuit brought difficult conditions with high temperatures and low grip in FP3, and strong winds and sand storms in FP4. Due to this, no rider was able to improve on their Friday times in these early sessions, which meant a direct passage to Q2 for Team #Suzuki ECSTAR, and allowed more time to finalise settings ahead of the opening race of the season.
Both #alexrins and #andreaiannone tried different configurations of aerodynamic fairing, with and without ‘wings’. #alexrins has been strong throughout the weekend so far, and he was able to carry this form into a fast-paced Q2 session. When the chequered flag went out he held onto 6th place and a second row start - his best in #MotoGP. He has hovered around the Top 5 all weekend and is feeling good for tomorrow’s race.
Despite having good pace, #andreaiannone lacked confidence as Saturday’s final qualifying session drew to an end - suffering with lack of grip and front end feel. He takes 11th spot on the grid and hopes to find a little bit extra in tomorrow’s Warm-Up.
