Moto3 Valencia FP2: David Almansa will become the favorite if this continues!

Moto3 FP2 has just finished at the Valencia circuit. The Ricardo Tormo circuit, often the scene of intense battles, is historic and will decide between two giants this weekend. Indeed, while the absent José Antonio Rueda (Red Bull KTM Ajo) has already secured the world title in Indonesia, second place remains within reach of two riders. On one side, Angel Piqueras (KTM MT Helmets MSi), currently second, eight points ahead of Portimao winner Maximo Quiles (KTM CFMoto Aspar Team). Everything is still to play for. For now, Quiles has the advantage: he shone yesterday morning during FP1, while his rival for the weekend was not in contention. During Practice, however, No one could keep up with David Almansa (Honda Leopard Racing), who set a brand new lap record.
