Sitting 16th overnight, Álex improved his time from Friday but was unable to progress automatically from FP3. He challenged for the top two places in a typically competitive Q1, but ultimately had to settle for fifth position and will now look to make a quick getaway at a circuit that suits his racing style.Álex Márquez – 15th (2’04.100)“So, the second day and in the morning it was really quite difficult, but this afternoon we made a good step forward with the set-up of the bike and I am feeling much better. I am improving step-by-step on the MotoGP bike, it is harder than I expected, but in que Qualy we were close to Q2. We can’t be happy because we’re not in the position we want or we need to be, but we need to stay positive for tomorrow and keep taking steps forward.”
