Determined Espargaro fights to fourth on the grid, career best Argentina GP qualifying
Press release available only in original language.
Pol Espargaro showed off his incredible determination in #argentina, recovering from a complicated and compacted day to fourth on the grid. Stefan Bradl showed steady and constant progress over the day’s running.
Delays in the arrival of some of the #MotoGP freight from the previous round saw the #argentina GP compressed into a two-day #Event. ‘Super Saturday’ seeing the Repsol #Honda Team complete Free Practice and Qualifying in the space of just a few hours. Two hour-long Free Practice sessions were followed by the usual Q1/Q2 format.
Pol Espargaro showed his experience as he was immediately on the pace in Free Practice 1, ending the session in third place and two tenths shy of fellow #Honda rider, and fastest in the morning, Takaaki Nakagami. Later in the day he would his first fall of the 2022 season, coming off at Turn 1 during Free Practice 2, and leading to a difficult afternoon session which resulted in the #44 would having to fight through Q1. MotoGP’s unique Saturday schedule in #argentina meant there was no Free Practice 3 to attempt to further improve his time.
Working with just a single bike as a result of the crash, Espargaro would not be stopped in Q1 and ended the session as the fastest rider despite an incredible tank slapper down the main straight. Just a single run was all Espargaro had during Q2, but he and his team pulled a rabbit out of the hat to secure the head of the second row with a 1’38.165 – only 0.046s shy of the front row. A moment at Turn 1 on his fastest lap is what Espargaro feels cost him a top-three birth.
Fourth place is Espargaro’s best grid position at the #termasderiohondo circuit, improving dramatically on his previous best of tenth in 2016. With the speed of the new #Honda RC213V off the lane, the #44 will be one to watch when the lights go out at 15:00 Local Time on Sunday, April 03.
The Repsol #Honda Team have won three of the six races held in #termasderiohondo.
Stefan Bradl produced a day of steady improvements upon his return to #racing the Repsol #Honda Team RC213V. A 1’40.346 in FP1 would improve by over a second to set a 1’39.487 in Q1 for 14th in the session. The #Honda HRC Test Rider is aiming for a productive race on Sunday, gathering more important data for the Repsol #Honda Team.
