GP Qatar Moto3 QP – tomorrow both Team Italia riders will be called to an attacking race to recover from the lower areas of the starting grid.
Stefano Valtulini e Lorenzo Petrarca in fact, they did not do better than 31st and 33rd respectively.

“The position is clearly not in line with our expectations – he explained Stefano Valtulini – but I'm quite happy. Today we got even closer to the leaders, limiting the disadvantage to just over 2″, this is very important for me and represents an injection of confidence, considering that I am making my official debut as a starting rider in the MotoGP. It's just a shame about a small problem encountered in the last 10 minutes, there was a real chance of qualifying later. In any case, I'm confident for tomorrow, there is the possibility of recovering positions and finishing this first race weekend spent together on a high note."

“Compared to the previous two days today went much better – he said Lorenzo Petrarca. The changes to the setup have allowed me to ride the bike as I like, I feel the feeling growing and I can only thank the team for this. Unfortunately, while I was improving my time, a gust of wind lifted the front end and I inadvertently found myself on the ground. Luckily I didn't hurt myself, I'm fine and with the confidence I gained today I can aim for an attacking race."
