#DutchGP: BIG STEP ON FRIDAY AFTERNOON IN THE "CATHEDRAL OF SPEED"

BIG STEP ON FRIDAY AFTERNOON IN THE "CATHEDRAL OF SPEED"

Dominique Aegerter and his team Kiefer Racing had an encouraging start into the Assen race weekend as they wrap up Friday’s session seventh fastest.

The series round eight in the northern part of the Netherlands began at significantly cooler temperatures than the previous grand prix in Mugello and Barcelona. Despite dark skies, the weather remained dry all day long. In good conditions, however, the German based Moto2™ team and Dominique Aegerter still needed this morning’s FP1 to find a proper setup for the Suter MMX2 machine for the afternoon session. Aegerter finally concluded Friday at the legendary TT Circuit in Assen with seventh fastest lap time overall.

#77 Dominique AEGERTER (Kiefer Racing, Suter MMX2), FP1: P16 - 1´39.792 (22/23) / FP2: P7 - 1´38.614 (22/23):

"This morning, things went still rather resinous. But this is normal when you come with a new package to another circuit for the first time. But we analyzed the data form the first session and we were able to take a good step forward in the afternoon. The team and Suter have done a good job. During FP2 finally, we managed to go in the right direction."

"However, we have to confirm this step tomorrow. This will not be an easy task as the lap times will surely get faster. On the other hand, the weather will play its role once again here in Assen. But we had a good session so far and we are not far from the top. After we endured problems last in Barcelona, we try to fix this with a few new parts for the bike."
