and I’m looking forward to returning to the stadium in Budapest where I know
I can show what I’m capable of.”
Looking forward to making a good impression on the leaderboard at his
home round, Husqvarna’s Alfredo Gomez didn’t quite have the night he was
hoping for in La Coruna. Despite placing third-quickest in the morning’s timed
practice, a crash during his Superpole hot lap qualified him in sixth. Faced with
a disadvantaged grid position for races one and three, the Husqvarna rider
fought to make the best of his situation on his TE 300i.
Fourth in race one and fifth in race three, the Spaniard secured his best result
of the night when grid positions were reversed for race two. Capitalizing on an
outside start, he exited the second corner in fourth position. Finding a strong
rhythm, he placed an impressive third to show what could have been if Super-
pole had gone his way.
