MotoGP Aragon, Qualifying: Jonathan Rea “I did well, I reduced the gap from the leaders by one second”

Jonathan Rhea he closes the qualifying of the Aragon GP with the 7th time, 1 second behind the poleman, Jorge Lorenzo. Considering that it was his first dry test session in MotoGP for the Briton, the result was excellent as he not only reduced the gap from the top by one second, but he also put the 4 Ducatis behind him (including the two official ones of Rossi and Hayden who were more than half a second behind). In short, Rea is adapting well to MotoGP, now all that remains is to understand how to pronounce his name.

“For me it went well – Rhea said to SportMediaset – I reduced the gap from the leaders to around the second. This weather didn't allow me to ride in the dry and learn anything. However, for the race I will try to do my best and finish the race standing because I want to ride as much as possible on this bike to learn something. more because it could be my last race in MotoGP (in case Stoner returns in two weeks ed.). The main difference between MotoGP and Superbike? well definitely the braking related to the front tire. I saw Pedrosa's data to understand how to brake well in MotoGP.”
