Bendsneyder was forced to start from Q1 after failing to make the tight cut in the third free practice due to an engine failure. Despite this setback, the team rallied together to ensure that it would not significantly affect the day’s performance. During qualifying, both the Dutch rider and his teammate stood out at the top of the timesheets, taking second place just three tenths off the fastest time. Finally, our rider made it through to Q2, maintaining the consistency he has shown in previous races. In the second part of qualifying, Bendsneyder dazzled again on track, although he did not achieve the desired lap, finishing the day in thirteenth position.
Bo Bendsneyder #64 – (P13)
“Today in FP3 we had a good feeling, but after we put the new tyres on, we had an engine failure. It’s not the fault of the team or the rider, it was something mechanical. We had bad luck, then we had to start from Q1. In Q2 we improved a little bit but we didn’t make the perfect lap time, I think we could have fought for the third row. We are P13, but the good thing is that we are improving compared to other weekends. Let’s fight hard tomorrow!”
