#CzechGP Moto2 WU: Corsi sanctioned and the rain arrived

It's the big day of the Czech Republic Grand Prix and it's an overcast sky with a warm track at 21° which welcomes the Moto2 protagonists for the warm-up session. On Saturday, Pasini returned to pole position after ten years of abstinence. The Italian veteran will try to translate this performance into victory early this afternoon. The final adjustments will therefore be important.

Here is the state of affairs before starting the clock:

#CzechGP Moto2	2016	2017
FP1	2'02.611 Alex Marquez	2'15.724 Miguel Oliveira
FP2	2'02.277 Johann zarco	2'02.975 Mattia Pasini
FP3	2'01.962 Lorenzo Baldassari	2'02.747 Alex Marquez
Qualification	2'01.581 Johann zarco	2'02.611 Mattia Pasini
Warm up	2'17.297 Jonas Folger
Course	Folger, Rins, Lowes (see here)
All time lap record	2'01.581 Johann Zarco 2016

 

The first information concerns a slight rearrangement of the starting grid. Simone Courses was in fact penalized three places after his attack on Dominique Aegerter at the start of the qualifying session carried out the day before. A deserved penalty if we remember the facts… The Italian will therefore start twelfth.

The session is launched under the sign of the flag indicating a slippery track due to a shower who makes the umbrellas open and the hoods put on in the stands. Enough to dissuade the protagonists from continuing the exercise, or even starting it like the Marc VDS Racing drivers, Pasini, bagnaia, KTM riders or even Quarterly. Before returning to the stands of the brave, it is NAVARRO who had established a reference in 2'05.839 ahead of Locatelli et Marini.

We learned through the waves that Marcel schrotter had gone to the operating table for his injured wrist. If, in a week, the German from the Intact team was not yet operational, Danny Kent could return to service in Austria.

At the very end of the course, those who had avoided the first minutes ended up going out, the poleman Pasini except. All for a simple warm-up on an increasingly wet track...
