Excellent second spot on the grid for Efren Vazquez in Austin
Efren Vazquez, the Spanish rider of team SAXOPRINT – RTG made sure qualifying was a tense affair. For a long time he was in tenth place and only after the last pitstop towards the end of the session he was able to step things up another gear. The last lap was fast enough to see him start the race from position two of the grid.
Unfortunately teammate John McPhee wasn’t able to repeat the good results from his practice sessions and will have to start the race from fifteenth place. But with a good race start he can still fight for a finish in the points.

“I am happy with the position for tomorrow. It is a really good result for us. We will see what happens tomorrow. I’d like to say thank you to the team. They worked very hard and I think they prepared me one of the best bikes. I will try my best tomorrow. I hope to be fighting in the first group.”
