Héctor Barberá: "I am truly satisfied."

Yesterday was a very interesting day for MotoGP rider Héctor Barberá, as he managed to close the free practice session in a good position and as the best Ducati on track, so objectives were met both for the Pramac Racing team and for the number 8 in the premier class.

The first free practice session was complicated by some problems with the bike, but afterwards the technicians and mechanics managed to resolve the little issues and fine-tune a Ducati that flew around the Circuit de Catalunya, being the best of the Italian marque in this first taste of the Catalan track. Furthermore, he placed fifth and half a second off the fastest riders in FP2, so the pace Barberá has for today and especially tomorrow is nothing to be sniffed at.

Although today is what really matters, the time has come for qualifying, first passing through FP3 to arrive with engines prepared and warm for the fight for pole position. Without a doubt it is very important to start well from the grid, so it’s time to get your head in the game for qualifying.

Statements from Héctor Barberà:

I am truly satisfied, fifth and half a second off the top. For me it has been like taking pole position, since during this morning’s free practice we had quite a few problems, but the team has done an excellent job.

Frankly, my mechanics are brilliant at solving my problems. Now it’s time to think about tomorrow’s timed sessions and the race, because we are convinced we can do very well.
