Nothing was easy for the Moto2 beginner fabio quartararo who had to face delicate conditions for his first qualifications in the category in Argentina. A wet track at the start then drying out, it's nothing to say that it took some skill to come out on top. A good experience for the Frenchman who will start seventeenth.
Driver Sito Pons dominated his teammate and managed to strike a fine balance between the desire to perform and the need to stay on his wheels. El Diablo did not give in to temptation and came out with honors. Seventeenth and second of the rookies, he will be able this Sunday to improve his lot in a race expected to be on dry asphalt.
« This Saturday was not easy for us. In the morning, the track was complicated, including a very wet bend. But we worked well and found a good rhythm. In the afternoon, I was riding for a quick lap and a dry strip had formed to try it on slick. However, I was never able to use it properly and I lacked sensations. We are seventeenth but confident that with a good start we can have a good race ».
Fabio set a time of 1:46.864 relegating him to 1.248 behind the poleman Olive tree who rides the new KTM.
