Crash prevents Joan Mir from qualifying directly for Q2

After a good feeling in the morning session, Joan Mir crashes on his time attack attempt, placing 20th. Luca Marini is 21st.

JOAN MIR – 20th

“Today followed a similar pattern to what we saw in Portimao, unfortunately. There are some areas we need to work on but it will take some time I think. It’s important that we know what we need to do. The good point is that I think on race pace we can be stronger, my overall position today isn’t fully accurate because of the crash. It was just a small one and I am OK.”

LUCA MARINI – 21st

“When we put in the soft rear tyre we are not able to take the maximum benefit from it so it is important that we work to improve this in the future. We have some work to do tonight with the team because the gap is big. With the medium tyre we are closer to everyone. It’s just the third race so we are still early in the project, I know we will keep improving.”
