MotoGP Losail: Disappointing qualifying for Bautista and Pirro

For both Team San Carlo Honda Gresini riders, Alvaro Bautista and Michele Pirro, it was a somewhat disappointing day. The Spanish rider continued to have problems with the front of his Honda RC213V, lacking confidence and not being able to push as he would have liked. The driver from Puglia was once again betrayed by the electronics which forced him into the garage for a long time without being able to make a noteworthy lap. With yesterday's time he would be in second place among the CRTs and therefore the disappointment for him and the Team is quite great.

“Nothing has changed compared to yesterday, despite having tried to make some changes, I still have little confidence with the front of the bike – said Alvaro Bautista (11th 1' 56” 521) – We weren't able to improve the feeling and in the end we had a bad qualifying. We're far behind on the grid and that's not good. But tomorrow we still have the warm up to try to find some solutions. We hope to succeed otherwise we will be forced to run on the defensive trying to bring home the best possible result. It's a shame and also very strange because during the winter tests we were quite satisfied and instead here I lack confidence. In any case, we must not lose heart, continue working and the results will come."

“There's little to say, I went in with the hard tire and immediately did 1' 59” then I returned to the pits and asked for an intervention on the electronics and the problems started – said Michele Pirro (17th 1' 59) ” 085) – Unfortunately we still have a long way to go and at the moment the thing that makes us despair the most is electronics. Tomorrow in the warm up we will try to understand what is slowing us down and if we find the solution I am convinced that we can have a good race."
