#AustrianGP: FIFTH ROW START IN HILLY SPIELBERG

FIFTH ROW START IN HILLY SPIELBERG

Dominique Aegerter headed with higher expectations into the timed session than he was able to do on Saturday afternoon.

After some rainy weather in the past days, the summer gradually returns to the Styrian Murtal region. Under stable and good conditions, qualifying practice, which decided the starting grid, turned out to a thriller once again.

At the end of the 45-minutes long timed session, 21 riders found himself within one second. Kiefer Racing’s Dominique Aegerter qualified for 14th spot on the grid with a margin of eight tenth of a second to the pole position. Aegerter had a good feeling aboard his Suter Moto2 machine during all previous free practice sessions as well as for the respective track conditions. But on Saturday afternoon, he was not able to put all in into a hot qualifying lap.

#77 Dominique AEGERTER (Kiefer Racing, Suter MMX2), Grid position 14th – 1´30.247 (25/25):

"P14 on the grid definitely doesn’t match my expectation for today’s qualifying. On the other hand, our gap with 0.8 seconds is not that much. I actually had a good feeling the whole weekend but in during qualifying I could not implement it for a super-fast lap. I also have to say that I rode always alone and never found a good slipstream. Of course, it’s somewhat of a pity that we did not qualify more towards the front. But I will give all my best to get a decent top ten result tomorrow."
