Bo Bendsneyder found himself more comfortable this Saturday. After making some changes, the Dutch rider improved his times and maintained a great pace throughout Q1.

#64 Bo Bendsneyder – P26 – 1.29,507 (+ 0,848)
“It was a really strange day because the first session was really good. I was fast and the pace was good. We just missed about two tenths to go to Q2. In the end it’s not bad to be 0.2 with a good pace after about ten laps making the best lap time. We were really positive thinking about going into Q2. I’m a bit disappointed w could not go to Q2, the only thing we know is that we start from the back tomorrow but we cannot change that, we are positive and we think that tomorrow will be our day. We keep working hard”.
