12th on the grid for Binder as MotoGP™ gets busy in Argentina
Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale.
MotoGP 2022 - Round 03 of 21, Termas del Rio Hondo (Argentina) – Qualification
MotoGP returned to the flat and fast #termasderiohondo circuit in western #argentina for the first time since 2019 and it was Red Bull #ktm Factory Racing’s #bradbinder who was the fastest qualifier on a #ktm RC16 for round three tomorrow.
Third consecutive Q2 qualification cut for Binder who moves to 11th late on Saturday
All three classes have just one day of practice and qualification
Moto3™ joy for rookie Daniel Holgado with a second row slot in 6th
Augusto Fernandez 2nd on the grid once again in Moto2™
The return to #argentina and the atmospheric circuit - that has been the home for #motogp for the last six editions of the Grand Prix - began in difficult fashion. Late freight arrivals for sections of the paddock meant the organizers were forced to cancel Friday’s Free Practice schedule and install a condensed timetable for Moto3, Moto2 and #motogp on Saturday only. The format meant even less time for the teams and riders to set-up their bikes for the sunny and warm conditions.
Red Bull #ktm saw Binder go straight into Q2. The South African blitzed to a pacey lap in FP1 and then FP2 despite a technical setback as Oliveira entered narrowly missed Q2 by just three tenths of a second. Binder, who had qualified 7th and 4th in the previous two rounds, set the 8th quickest lap on his first attempt and then was vying for a Pole time through his last try but a small mistake in the third sector through Turn 7 ended his quest. He finished in 12th but was elevated to 11th after Jack Miller's rule infringement.
Tech3 #ktm Factory Racing’s Raul Fernandez was 21st and only six thousandths of a second faster than Remy Gardner in 22nd. The #motogp race starts at 20.00 CET on Sunday.
Brad Binder: “A really good day except for the last exit! I’m really happy with the bike and how we have worked today. It was a little bit of a special format and I was able to learn the track quickly and be competitive right away. My pace on worn tires is really good and I’m super-happy with the feeling I have when the grip goes away. I was unlucky in qualifying but I had my normal feeling back when I changed to the final set of tires. I was coming around fast but unfortunately I made a small mistake when I nudged my gear lever under braking; shifting an extra gear when you are meant to be braking doesn’t help. I’m a bit frustrated because of that, we should have been on the first two rows, but I’m ready to fight tomorrow.”
Miguel Oliveira: “A tough day and not quite what we are used to. We were very close to the top ten after Free Practice but we didn’t get in. Overall, I struggled with rear grip, so I hope we can find a solution for tomorrow and we can have a good race.”
Raul Fernandez: “It was only my second time here in #argentina and I think that we had a positive day. During Free Practice 1, I felt like I had too much work to do and I was not understanding things very well. Between the sessions, the team worked well and I was able to considerably improve during FP2. The positive feelings on the bike came back and we were able to produce a session with a good race pace. I think that tomorrow’s race will be interesting for us, so I will try to enjoy it!”
Remy Gardner:“Today overall has been a tough day. I crashed during Free Practice 2 and lost a bit of confidence at the same time. I think that we need to improve our qualifying sessions because at the moment it is our weak point. We have another forty minutes tomorrow to improve and hopefully find a better direction for the race.”
Moto3 & Moto2
The Moto3 and Moto2 classes also endured the rush of the reduced track time, and for riders such as Red Bull #ktm Tech3’s Deniz Öncü and Adrian Fernandez and Red Bull #ktm Ajo’s Daniel Holgado Saturday’s session provided a first taste of Termas (Jaume Masia had raced in #argentina in 2019). Holgado was the fastest Academy #ktm RC4 runner through Q2 to grasp 6th on the grid: a personal best for the rookie so far. Joel Kelso was the top #ktm rider in 4th.
Red Bull #ktm Ajo’s Augusto Fernandez was just a tenth of a second away from Pole Position in Moto2. The Spaniard pushes away from the middle of the front row for the 23-lap race tomorrow. Rookie teammate Pedro Acosta was 17th.
