Espargaro and Vazquez second and third in German Grand Prix FP1

Tuenti Racing Derbi have made an excellent start to the first day or practice and qualification at the Grand Prix of Germany; taking place – as every year – at the Sachsenring circuit. Pol Espargaró marked the second best time while Efrén Vázquez was third quickest, both only headed by current 125cc world championship leader Márc Márquez. The two Tuenti Racing riders each experienced a different session, with Efrén continually among the leaders and Pol working on his bike set-up and then leaping to second place in the final stages of the chrono..

2nd POL ESPARGARÓ
“I´m quite happy with how the day went because we are not far from first position and we know exactly where we can improve. We are losing too much time in the fourth split of the circuit and we need to work on a solution for that zone to make an important step forwards. The bike is too unsettled in the rear end and its tricky for me to get on the gas entering the start straight. Tomorrow we will make a few changes to the bike, as much in the chassis as with the gearing and I hope I can lower my times considerably.”

3rd EFRÉN VÁZQUEZ
“We´ve started the Grand Prix on the right foot and from the first moment we were at the top of the time sheets, something we haven´t managed for the last few races. In only three laps I lowered my best time from last year and then we worked on shaving tenths and getting ready for the race. I feel good around this track and hope to take a decent result before we have a small break; from which we will really push to get the maximum possible from the second half of the season.”
