DUTCH ROUND | FRIDAY

Mixed weather conditions complicated Friday’s free practice for the Pirelli Dutch Round.

First, in FP1 the riders were forced to wait a long time in the pits to enter the track in dry conditions, then in FP2 the opposite situation occurred with rain starting to fall in the middle of the session.

Alvaro Bautista made the most of the first part of the FP2, finishing with the fastest lap time of the day despite a strong wind that did not make life easy for the Spanish rider, especially on the straight.

“It was a very complicated day because of the weather conditions and the heavy rain limited the grip on the track. It was also not easy to ride with the strong wind. But in the end, we have to adapt because these are situations that all riders have to face. However, I am satisfied because, despite these difficulties, the feeling with the bike was good. Hopefully, the weather will be more consistent tomorrow.”
