"Overall, it's been a mixed day. Starting with the positives: Fabio is once again competitive this weekend, which shows that the great results in Jerez were not a fluke. The crowd is definitely on Fabio's side, and I'm sure it is helping him to dig even deeper than usual. Thanks to his great efforts today, he is in Q2, which was his goal, and he is feeling good with his bike this weekend. Álex, on the other hand, though he put in good work, was a bit unlucky. He suffered a small crash at the end of FP1 this morning. Thankfully, he was unharmed, but he needed some time to regain his confidence. But then, at the end of the Practice, he faced a technical problem. Because of that he didn't get to complete his time attack. The team will work hard this evening to fix everything for tomorrow so he can take another shot at securing a place in Q2 during Q1."
