Valencia 2. qualification

Unsuccessful qualification

The last qualification of this season was not good for Karel Abraham. Finally, he reached the 33rd position for tomorrow's race.

The second qualification was not successful and Karel Abraham reached the 33rd position. The race will not be easy. The main aim is to drive over the most riders right after the start and reached the best position.

Karel Abraham:
„In the morning I was trying to concentrate. I made a good time and everybody was satisfied when I reached the 23rd position. There was a new piston for the qualification that I was driving in during a few first laps. A spent a lot of time waiting for other fast riders that I wanted to drive with. But when I met them on the track, German rider Hommel went among us and another lap was spoilt. Last ten minutes I was driving alone. I should stop in the pit and wait for a group of riders. Now I know that this was the mistake. Everybody is not satisfied. I am really sorry about this and I am quite unhappy. The weekend looked very good and finally I spoilt today's qualification. This situation is not good for tomorrow's race. “
