Bulega second and Bautista fifth on Friday at Aragon.

It was also a solid Friday for Álvaro Bautista, who won both the Superpole Race and Race 2 at Motorland Aragon last year. The Spanish rider finished fifth in the combined standings after improving his FP1 time by almost three tenths of a second in the afternoon.

"I'm quite satisfied with how things went today. Of course, I couldn't say it was the best Friday of the season, but we still managed to do a good job between FP1 and FP2, which allowed us to improve. We're still missing something, but we're confident we can take another step forward tomorrow".

"It was a positive Friday. During this season, we've often had to chase a good feeling in free practice. Today, however, I immediately felt good on the bike, and this allowed us to work on the details. We found a good base set-up on which to build with confidence for tomorrow and Sunday's performance".
