Unbeatable sensations that the Madrilenian is leaving in this second half of the championship with Boscoscuro

Ai Ogura snatched Pole from Alonso at the last breath while Augusto Fernández climbed to third

A ‘rookie’ in a state of grace. That is the best summary to define the situation you are experiencing Alonso Lopez at this time of the season with the Boscoscuro. The rider from Madrid, after a great weekend in Great Britain, once again showed that he is here to be one of the greats riders in the category and was very close to getting the Pole, which at the same time, would have been the first as a World Cup rider.

The driver from Los Molinos had the provisional Pole until the clock marked 00:16, at which time Ai Ogura lowered his time to leave the first row of the grid sentenced. “I did not expect this position or the first row” An Alonso who was fifth after Friday’s combined scored with total security.

“Tomorrow we will try to do everything in our hands and see where we get. I’m determined on how to do things tomorrow, so we’ll go all out. I’m really happy”, added Alonso, who acknowledges wanting to try to storm that first place that he also had very, very close at Silverstone.

Third was Augusto Fernández, who seems to continue at a very strong peak. “I gave it my all in the first session but it wasn’t enough. Lucky that in our last attempt it went well. It is going to be a very tough race, so I prefer not to make expectations,” said the Spaniard, who will seek to be even more leader of Spielberg.

He will try to avoid Ai Ogura, Augusto’s closest rival in the general classification. “I am not too strong in the third sector, but we are there. We do the first two very well and we have to hold on to that. Tomorrow it will be time to fight with many riders”, commented an Ogura always very correct and cautious.
