STRONG START FROM ÁLEX MÁRQUEZ AT PORTIMAO5 November 2021 | Algarve GP PracticeÁlex Márquez made an impressive start to the Algarve Grand Prix as he finished the opening day of free practice in seventh spot. With just two rounds of the 2021 MotoGP World Championship left to contest, the Spaniard is determined to put on a show at Portimao and laid down a marker for the rest of the weekend on Friday.
With FP1 proving an ultra-competitive affair, Álex was well-placed throughout before ending up in 11th position – a place ahead of LCR team-mate Takaaki Nakagami. He carried that pace and momentum into FP2 and was unfortunate not to dip into the 1’39s, but – sitting seventh overnight – will have high hopes of automatic qualification for Q2.Álex Márquez – 7th (1’40.069)“It was a really good day for us. We’ve already ridden here at Portimao at the start of 2021 and that was a good race for us. Today, we started with good pace in the morning, we were constantly in the top five to seven which is really good. We have to keep going like this now, it’s only Friday and there’s still many things to do. Tomorrow we need to be positive and the key will be getting into Q2 in the morning. We’ll try to make another step tomorrow, but I’m really happy with the team who did a great job today.”
