MotoGP: Round #9 Aspar Team Qualifying Report – Sachsenring



Nicky Hayden race action shot Aspar Team Press Release: MotoGP, like Moto3 before it, was all about one man in qualifying. Marc Márquez had dominated all the practice sessions and continued his roll in qualifying, setting a new record at the Sachsenring (1.20.336). A rival has yet to emerge for the Spaniard, but teammate Dani Pedrosa got within 3 tenths of him today. Jorge Lorenzo completed the front row, almost 6 tenths down. The German GP takes place tomorrow at 2pm local time. Nicky Hayden and Eugene Laverty were working against the clock on the second day of the German GP, but did not have the improved feeling for which they had hoped. The American, who saw a slight improvement in the last free practice session, had looked to set a strong qualifying time, but it wasn’t to be. He eventually took nineteenth position and will have to make a comeback on raceday –but has the pace to do so. Across the POWER ELECTRONICS Aspar garage, Eugene Laverty placed twenty-third, hindered by a problem with rear grip. Nicky Hayden Shot Nicky Hayden #69: 19th - 1.22.362 "In the final practice session we improved a bit, with the hard compound as well. I was able to set some positive times, even with the used front tire, and thought that in the qualifying session could again improve. We made a small change that was not the right direction to take, and I wasn’t as fast as expected. I'm a little upset because ultimately I qualified with a similar time to last year, when this year our bike is better. Fortunately our pace is optimal and if we start well we can make a comeback. In thirty laps anything can happen, so we will have to be very focused at all times. This is one of the hardest circuits for overtaking, so we have to give everything we have." Eugene Laverty race action shot Eugene Laverty #50 23rd - 1.22.693 "Yesterday we started well but in the afternoon we went wrong with the setup. Today we have improved our feeling somewhat, but I am still not comfortable. We worked hard during the day to try to find solutions, but I had some problems with the rear tire which gave me several scares and close-calls. We have some ideas about how to gain grip with the rear and will work hard during the morning warmup session to achieve this, then try to approach the race confidently."
