Most importantly, the track is dry for this Moto2 warm up in the Netherlands. Cool, 18°, but dry, which allows the strong men of the place to get their bearings for this afternoon.
Also, we will hardly be surprised by the presence of Takaaki Nakagami, Johann Zarco, Tom Luthi and Alex Rins at the forefront during the first half of the session, a supremacy that will try to challenge them Franco Morbidelli, Alex Marquez and Lorenzo Baldassarri around mid-session.
A valiant offensive by the contenders which will also temporarily bring Franco Morbidelli and Sam Lowes respectively in 2nd and 4th positions before the final rush.
But, ahead, the Japanese driver continues to improve his times and even tickles that of the pole position achieved yesterday by Tom Luthi.
Note that only 10 drivers are within the same second this morning.
