Fermin Aldeguer’s Two Near-Crash Attempts at the Balaton Park Circuit: I Almost Had It!
Fermin Aldeguer appeared in very good form during free practice sessions, demonstrating readiness for the weekend of the race held at the Balaton Park Circuit. His first move as it related to pole position secured him third place. The subsequent MotoGP sprint race delivered exciting moments that met expectations.
Race Developments
Aldeguer engaged in a close battle with Marco Bezzecchi during the early stages of the race, particularly at Turn 1 where he failed to overtake Bezzecchi and was forced to concede the lead of the sprint race. Due to the track’s characteristics, especially near Plattensee with its tight corners, attacks carried significant risk and required considerable effort until successful.
In the fourth lap, he lost the rear wheel due to a slide between Turns 9 and 10. However, the pilot reacted quickly and avoided a crash, relegating him to fifth place.
“This track is very challenging, especially when attacking in corners. Nevertheless, I fought hard whenever possible.” – Fermin Aldeguer
He caught up with Raul Fernandez and continued racing alongside him, drawing attention to his performance in the second race. In the final two laps, his slowing down and falling behind once again placed him fifth.
Aldeguer assessed the situation before the race as follows: “I am happy with my speed and the feeling I have with the motorcycle. I hadn’t felt this good at the beginning of the season – you could even see it on television.” Given the challenging track and the different riding styles of other riders, securing a place in the top three during the first lap was considered a critical objective. Aldeguer's success was closely linked to his ability to maintain this performance in tomorrow’s race. “Getting into the top three at Turn 1 would make the rest of the race easier.”
The pilot took responsibility for pushing too fast through the pit lane when attempting to overtake Bezzecchi: "I tried to get past Bezzecchi there, but I used kerb to gain more advantage. The rear wheel lost grip, and that was my first mistake." The second error with Raul Fernandez was considered a consequence of Aldeguer’s efforts to compete at a high speed throughout the race. “The important thing is to be able to recover the situation every time and to race at a good pace. I worked close to my full potential, and such mistakes are unavoidable when riding on the limit.”
Aldeguer's high speed in the sprint race will undoubtedly be a factor to consider for Sunday’s Grand Prix.
