Balda and Team Go Eleven had a solid Day 1 at the Misano circuit, focusing on race pace and finding the right feeling with used tyres.<\/p>\n
In FP1, the Italian rider felt comfortable from the first laps, finding positive feedback compared to the tests done\u00a0here a few weeks ago; as the laps went by, his pace improved, especially in the third sector. After a short pit stop and an electronics adjustment, Lorenzo set a 1:33.334, good for sixth place overall, with over 20 laps of tyres.<\/p>\n
Free Practice 1: Temperatures rose in the afternoon, reaching around 50 degrees Celsius on the asphalt. Conditions changed a bit, but all the riders managed to improve their lap times. Balda immediately entered the session with determination, setting his pace at 33.5; lap after lap, he improved a few tenths in each sector until he reached 33.2. For the second stint, the technicians made a change\u00a0in\u00a0the front forks, making the bike more stable, perhaps losing a little grip at the front; towards the end of the session, with over 25 laps on the tyres, Balda set\u00a0another 33.3, a sign that the pace was there. He made no tyre changes in the final minutes, unlike almost all the riders on the grid.<\/p>\n
