Alonso irrepressible. In qualifying he humiliates his opponents, closing embarrassing gaps. Over a second to Veijer who tried and tried again to shorten it. Save the honor of the grill David MunozThat he reduces the distance to two tenths on the last lap, slipping between him and the Dutchman. But the Colombian (second pole in Moto3) put everyone in line, with an impressive show of strength. And to think that last year he was in crisis in the wet. The day which began with rain did not impress him at all: the Aspar driver finished in front and the damp spots left during qualifying did not affect the confidence he had acquired. He didn’t change Friday’s record, but he remains the reference for this race. “We just have to focus on ourselves – he tells the cameras – without thinking about others. Here there is a fantastic audience that pushes you to give more…”. Will he run away at the start? Who can say, but staying ahead of him won’t be easy.
Possible world overtaking
If the prediction that he is the favorite is confirmed in the race, Alonso can take the lead in the world championship by taking advantage of Holgado’s accident, current leader: a bad fall for the Spaniard, a few minutes after the start of Q2 which left him without a timed clock. Similar fate to that of the Spaniard’s teammate, the Australian Roulstoneamong the fastest on Friday, fell in turn, in similar ways. Italian hopes are entrusted to Nicola Carraro (team MTA) tenth ahead of Stefano Nepa, Riccardo Rossi fourteenth ahead of Fabio Farioli. Bertelle and Lunetta remained out of Q2 and will start further back. For the record, Rueda didn’t take to the track today either.
