Team Estrella Galicia 0,0 Marc VDS rider Mike di Meglio is ready to launch a strong challenge from the fourth row of the grid in the final two races of the inaugural FIM Enel MotoE World Cup at the Ricardo Tormo Circuit in Valencia.

• In cold and windy conditions for Thursday’s FP1 session, di Meglio completed 10 laps to finish seventh with a best time of 1:42.540.
• Conditions were sunny and cloudless for FP2 this Friday morning but temperatures were still a chilly 15 degrees and Di Meglio improved his speed by the big margin of 0.7s in advance of the decisive E-Pole this afternoon.
• The Frenchman set a best time of 1:42.600 in the one-lap E-Pole showdown and he will line-up 12th on the grid for the seven-lap race tomorrow, which is the penultimate race in the inaugural FIM Enel MotoE World Cup.

“I hope to get a good start and have a strong battle”

“It has been quite difficult on this track to find a strong pace and it was like that when we tested here during the pre-season. We have tried many options to be more competitive and now we must put together what we have learned to race with the best package possible tomorrow. I hope to get a good start in the race tomorrow and make up some places and have a strong battle and find a good feeling that will give us confidence to end the season on a high note on Sunday.”
