DRIVE M7 ASPAR RIDERS READY TO RACE AFTER QUALIFYING IN QATAR
Aspar | 23.3.14 | FIA MotoGP
MotoGP
The first qualifying session of the 2014 season provided a memorable
night in the history of the MotoGP World Championship as the top three riders
on the grid qualified within a tenth of a second and the top nine were covered
by less than half a second. With up to twelve riders showing podium potential
here the first race of the new season promises to be as spectacular as the last
lap from Marc Márquez that saw him snatch pole from Alvaro Bautista.

M7 Aspar riders Nicky Hayden and Hiroshi Aoyama both saved their best laps of
the weekend so far for the all-important qualifying session, the American
clocking his best time on his penultimate effort and the Japanese on his last.
Nicky even managed to light up a red third sector on his fast lap but, as he
later admitted, he lost out in the fourth. A 1'55.894 was still four tenths
quicker than his best lap yesterday and is enough for thirteen on tomorrow
night's grid. Hiroshi made an improvement of half a second to his best lap and
lines up two places behind his team-mate on the fifth row.
