Karel Abraham (Pull&Bear Aspar Team) impressed on Friday, and the Czech rider did it again in some style as he took an awesome P2 in Q2 for his best ever qualifying result.
Riding the GP15 Ducati, the former Moto2™ race winner kept calm under pressure and put himself and the Pull&Bear Aspar squad in the best position for Sunday’s race – as well as taking the top Independent Team honours in a fully-packed Q2.
Karel Abraham, P2: "This feels amazing, it feels just great. The conditions today have been really bad since this morning but I really enjoyed qualifying. I love this circuit, which helped, and yesterday we made a strong start. I knew it would be difficult for us to prove that we could stay at the top today and tomorrow it will be even harder but our targets have not changed. We know what we want and what we need to achieve and we will work for that. This result puts us at a great advantage for tomorrow's race."
Incredible first EVER front row for Karel Abraham!
