From the dream of a front row start to a Race 1 finale to forget. Balda had an incredible qualifying session, second place on the starting grid, but it all ended a few hours later with a bad\u00a0start and a consequent\u00a0high-speed crash at Turn 8! There’s still some disappointment over a missed podium chance, but what matters most is that Balda is healthy and in good shape for tomorrow.<\/p>\n
Saturday morning starts well, with a perfect FP3; Balda first tests the new race tyre, improving\u00a0yesterday’s best laptime, then it’s\u00a0time attack time. With the Q, with no references in front, he breaks through the 39 barrier and moves into third place, showing great confidence here at Balaton Park.<\/p>\n
Free Practice 3: For qualifying, the strategy was the usual one: try to follow Nicol\u00f2 and get the first two rows as\u00a0minimum goal. First attempt, second place, 1.38.7, which secure the position\u00a0in case of yellow flags or traffic on the track. Despite a quite “slow” first sector. With the second tyre, almost no one can improve, and it’s the front row, second place! Great Balda, an extraordinary second place.<\/p>\n Superpole: In Race 1, unfortunately, everything went wrong right from the start; a bad start, Lorenzo\u00a0lost seven positions at the first corner and was stuck in the back of the pack. In the heat of recovery and knowing he had the pace to get back, on the second lap, at Turn 8, the fastest on the whole track, at about 200 km\/h, he lost the front end and ended up in the gravel. Race over. Balda, despite a huge shake up, got up and returned to the pits\u00a0without serious injuries. The damage to the bike was extensive, forcing the team to work late, but what matters most is that the rider is safe and well for tomorrow’s two races.<\/p>\n Race 1: In the warm-up, it will be important to check Balda’s feelings and make sure the bike is working well; furthermore, number 34 will try to quickly regain his confidence on the bike, before attacking right from the start for the Superpole Race!<\/p>\n
