Loris Baz will start tomorrow from 15th position on the grid aiming for the Open title in the last race of the 2015 season with Forward Racing at the Valencia circuit. His team-mate Toni Elias will start in 24th, ninth row of the grid.<\/p>\n
Baz, after struggling in the first day of practice, tried some new solutions this morning and was able to find the right grip for qualifying. With a good 1’31.856 he snatched second position among the Open bikes just a whisker away from Barbera and will start from the 15th place on the grid. The Frenchman, currently second in the Championship, five points from the lead, is aiming for the class win.<\/p>\n
Toni Elias had a more complicated qualifying session, with a time of 1’33.092 he will start from the 24th place. The Spaniard suffered the lack of confidence with the front but remains confident for the race. The target is not to lose contact with his direct opponents and get in the points-zone.<\/p>\n

\n25th \/ 1’33.092 \/ 8 laps<\/p>\n“I’m glad of what we have done so far this weekend: the pace is good and I am confident we can fight during the race tomorrow with the other Open. In qualifying I had little feeling with the front and I could not push as I wanted. The goal is to start well and keep close to the other Open bikes at the start of the race.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
