Augusto Fernández set the best time in Moto2 free practice in Misano. The Spanish rider stopped the clock at 1: 40.930 in a session from which it is very difficult to draw conclusions. The track started wet but it has dried up until the riders were able to mount the slick tires.
In this context, it has been Remy Gardner the title contender who has decided to take more risks. Not only because the dry tires were mounted too early, but because afterwards he squeezed them to the fullest. The world championship leader finished in second place, only behind Fernández, but he did not take much advantage of it.
Gardner took risks to stay in front of Raúl Fernández
And is that without taking risks Raúl Fernández finished training in eighth positionso I would be comfortably qualified for Q2 if it rains in FP3. The Spaniard preferred to hold out in his garage for quite a few more minutes, and when he left he took a turn without forcing that has put him comfortably among the best.
Another who wanted to show off was Xavi Vierge, who did a really fast lap on dry tires but he couldn't finish it off. Vierge was two tenths faster than Fernández until the last quarter, but there he lost until falling to third position. Even so, it has marked the cut with respect to the slowest.
Your teammate at Petronas, Jake Dixon, has finished in fourth position, but already more than half a second behind Augusto Fernández. It's clear that the top three have had something more to do in these peculiar conditions, and one could add to the combo Sam Lowes, fifth, who failed on his last attempt.
Sixth position for Celestino Vietti, while his partner, Marco Bezzecchi, right now he would be out of court, fifteenth. The Italian has not yet been confirmed as the official rider of the VR46 in MotoGP next season, and that headache seems to have something off-kilter for him.
Great performance again from the young Fermín Aldeguer, who finished tenth, just behind Somkiat Chantra. Seventh has been Ai Ogura. Of those who would be eliminated right now, a Jorge Navarro stands out, who seemed to have regained his course, but returns to sail lost through the Moto2 grid.
Although without a doubt the image of the day has starred Bo Bendsneyder. The Dutch driver made a memorable save during the first free practice sessions, breaking the dome of his bike on impact and entering the pits with his body off the bike. Spectacular.
