The Tech3 Racing Team duo initiated the second day of action at the French Grand Prix with some decent improvements in FP3 and will tackle the fifth round of the Moto2 World Championship 2018 from the eighth and the ninth row respectively. While Bo Bendsneyder lowered her lap time from Friday morning by 1.528 seconds during the qualifying, Hector Garzo improved her personal record as well, while further trying to adapt to the highly-competitive intermediate class as she is replacing Remy Gardner at the Bugatti Circuit.
Bo Bendsneyder; Position: 22nd – Time: 1’37.565 – Laps: 20
“The Qualifying was quite good in my opinion, although the position doesn’t really show this and is not what we wanted. Anyway, we did a good step, especially in consistency, because I can do the 1’37 on every lap now. During the end of the session I did my laps alone, so I couldn’t improve anymore, which is a pity, because I think we could have done a bit more. 0.1 or 0.2 seconds would have brought us to the top 15, but I did a mistake. Apart from this, I’m really looking forward to tomorrow, I hope for a good start and try to fight for the points.”
