MotoGP Laguna Seca, Qualifying: Alvaro Bautista “I'm really disappointed”

Qualifying for the Red Bull US Grand Prix was a disappointment for Spanish Suzuki rider Alvaro Bautista. A fall in fact compromised his session and the good things he showed in free practice. The word is up to him.

“It was a very big disappointment for me and the whole team this afternoon. We had done well in every practice session, but in qualifying where it is really important to do well to gain a good position for the race I crashed and lost the opportunity to do a good lap. I think we still need to be positive for tomorrow and the fact that we did our best time on tires with 27 laps is important for the race. The bad thing is that we are near the back of the grid, so I will have to get a good start and try to get a good position in the first corner. Tomorrow we will try to do our best and full throttle!”
