Both riders secured direct access to tomorrow\u2019s Q2, with Vietti setting the 11th fastest time and L\u00f3pez the 14th.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Celestino Vietti showed great feeling with the Portuguese track right from the start, finishing FP1 in fourth place with an excellent 1\u201941.707. In the afternoon, however, the weather conditions mixed things up: rain arrived halfway through the second session, halting any further time improvements. Despite this, the Italian rider managed to record a competitive 1\u201941.896 in the early stages of Practice, which earned him 11th place overall and direct access to Q2.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It was a day of progress for Alonso L\u00f3pez, who, after a more challenging FP1 that he closed in P17 with a time of 1\u201942.424, worked closely with his team to optimize the setup of his Boscoscuro. In the afternoon session, the number 21 improved his benchmark to stop the clock at 1\u201942.112, a time that secured him the final available spot for Q2.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the end of the day, however, the Spanish rider was handed a three-place grid penalty, to be served in Sunday\u2019s race.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>ALONSO L\u00d3PEZ #21: 14th, 1\u201942.112<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIn the first session I couldn\u2019t immediately find the right feeling with the bike, and we struggled a bit. In FP2, though, we made a good step forward: the team worked well on the setup, and I was able to improve my feeling on the bike. Then the weather changed our plans a bit, but the lap I set before the rain arrived was enough to get into Q2, which is really important for tomorrow\u201d.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><b>CELESTINO VIETTI #13: 11th, 1\u201941.896<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe started well, with a good feeling, and managed to work both on the time attack and on race pace. This afternoon I didn\u2019t put together a perfect lap, but we still made it directly into Q2, which was the goal. Tomorrow we\u2019ll try to take another step forward, but for now the feeling is positive\u201d.<\/span><\/i>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row disable_background_image=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;] BETA TOOLS SPEEDRS TEAM DIRECT Q2 ENTRY FOR THE BETA TOOLS SPEEDRS TEAM RIDERS ON THE OPENING DAY OF THE PORTUGUESE GP On the spectacular \u201croller coaster\u201d of the Aut\u00f3dromo Internacional do Algarve, the Beta Tools SpeedRS Team kicked off the Portuguese GP weekend with a solid performance.
