Mugello – Italy, June 09 – We have finally reached the home Grand Prix, the most beautiful and exciting one for many drivers, especially for the Italians. If we consider that since they were young, Romano and Matteo have trained on this asphalt, that this circuit emits a particular energy, and add that the cheering is already starting to be heard in this first day of qualifying, the result is a ticking time bomb. This morning, the Snipers kick off the proceedings with a good time: Romano secures the eighth position with a time of 01’57.9620. Meanwhile, Matteo, a few positions behind, is working closely with the team to improve the bike and the front-end vibrations. In the afternoon, however, there’s a note of disappointment for the team; with 3 minutes remaining in the session, Matteo is about to achieve an excellent time, with two red sectors, when the red flag is waved due to a rider’s crash. The time is cancelled, and he will have to settle for the 22nd position tomorrow. However, it is certain that he has all the potential to have a great qualifying session. On the other hand, Romano, after some adjustments made by the team to the bike, improves by a few milliseconds, which will allow him to secure the sixth position. Tomorrow, both Snipers will face a challenging Saturday ahead. The Mugello circuit can be both a blessing and a curse, and it’s up to them to fight to achieve their goal. |
