Does riding press day give an advantage for those riders? Or no difference?

I've never paid much attention to see if those riders qualify better because they should be able to hit the first timed session more comfortable.

Its a double edged sword. More track time, but also more risk. Ask Nicoletti about that.

Hiow many laps do they get? I think the would see how close there set up is and possibly check out the technical parts on the track Where they wold gain the most time.

Did Tomac ride press in Phoenix? I don't recall seeing him.
he and dungey complained that the current schedule doesn't give enough track time. both said they were actually happy to race the semi last week to get more track time and it literally saved there night.

Racing a semi does give you a look on how the lines are getting messed up.
they said they couldn't get the flow of the track with that short practices. dungey suggested to go back to 2x 15min practice sessions to get more track time.

Plus it would be a benefit because you have a travel day Friday and can't ride but if you ride press day you can at least get loosened up.

I was at a press day in Toronto once and they could only ride two lanes.
