10th spot on Aragon grid for Efren Vazquez

Today was the Qualifying session for tomorrow’s Aragon GP at the spectacular Motorland Aragon circuit.

Already – yesterday’s practice day proved tough for the SaxoPrint-RTG squad to compete with the top riders.

There was a similar picture today in Qualifying. For a long time Efren and John were only between position 18 and 23.

While the top riders continued to improve their times, unfortunately it was not possible for the riders of SAXOPRINT-RTG to go faster.

Efren continued on 18. position. In a fast lap of Jack Miller, some riders hang at his rear wheel and improved their times.

Efren Vazquez also improved his laptime in the last minute. Tomorrow he will start from 10th position on the grid.

Efren Vazquez:
“Today was a little bit difficult for us. But the lap time is quite close with the other riders. We hope tomorrow I can have a good start and I will push the first laps. I have to concentrate from the beginning to have a chance to go with the top riders.”

Dirk Heidolf (Team Principal):
“I’m quite satisfied with the results from today, when you consider how close the times are. Our delay is not too large. Furthermore, Efren rode his laps without slipstream.I think we can be optimistic for tomorrow and will attack again.”
