Positive Friday for the Yamaha BLU CRU Evan Bros Team, on stage in Most for the fifth round of the season. In a complicated Superpole Can Oncu took an excellent second position, while Aldi Mahendra took P11.
In the morning the first and only free practice session available was staged on a damp track. In these particular conditions Oncu made the difference, taking first place with a time of 1'40"505, while Mahendra ended the session in 12th position.
In the afternoon it was time for Superpole, which took place in damp but gradually drying asphalt conditions, which made the last ten minutes available even more decisive than usual. Can set his best time on the very last available lap, taking a fantastic second place. Also a good performance for Mahendra, who after showing himself in mixed conditions achieved P11, 29 thousandths from the top ten.
Now everything is ready for the races. Tomorrow - 12.35 CET - Race 1, over a distance of 19 laps, will be staged.
Aldi Mahendra
“I tried to push right from the start of Superpole and had a good feeling. Later on with the dry tyres I needed some time to find the right confidence, but anyway the final result is not bad: starting from P11 you can set a good race, so I am motivated and ready for Race 1”.
Can Oncu
“It was a complicated first day, but luckily we managed to find a good setup and to be fast. We still have to work, however, so that we are ready for the race: we are not so far, but to have the right consistency throughout the race we need something more. I am convinced that we will have fun, and I thank the team for their great work”.
