Di Giannantonio and Bezzecchi directly into Q2 at Le Mans
#FrenchGP- 10th May 2024

The riders of the Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team were immediately among the fastest guys on the historic 24-hour racing circuit, respectively in P5 and P9

Le Mans (France), May 10th 2024 - Excellent start for the Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team in Le Mans, where the French GP will take place on Sunday (Sunday 02.00 pm local time), with both riders directly qualified for Q2. Fabio Di Giannantonio signs a solid Top5 while Marco Bezzecchi is ninth.

Immediately at ease aboard the Ducati Desmosedici GP and capable of holding the lead of the standings for over half of the afternoon's practice, Fabio stops at 1.30.683, a lap time that means a gap of just two tenths from the top riders (Martin, 1.30.388).

Positive sensations also for Marco, fast since the morning session and author of a good final 1.30.785. Only 4 tenths of a gap and for him and the Q2 goal achieved in view of tomorrow's Sprint (03.00 pm local time).

Marco Bezzecchi - 72

I'm happy, we achieved the Q2 for tomorrow. A pity for my last time attack, I chose the medium in front. However, it did not turn out to be the right decision. I lost something, I'm sorry for the Team, but in any case we are in the Top10. A small mistake, with this temperature, the hard would have been better performing. However, I have feedback on both compounds so it will perhaps be easier to choose tomorrow. The pace isn't bad and I'm satisfied.

Fabio Di Giannantonio - 49

A really positive day, especially after the afternoon session. This morning I didn't ride well, I was nervous, I couldn't do my automatisms. In the afternoon however, we didn't touch anything on the bike, I just thought about riding well, without thinking too much. We were fast, the potential is excellent, both with new and used tires. Overall, the pace isn't bad either: we are very close to the Top riders.
