Grand Prix of the Czech Republic Brno Moto2 FP3: A double for the Valentino Rossi riders!

A track heated to 41° and a good 30° in the air, the conditions this Saturday are similar to those of the day before for a Moto2 which begins its second day of Czech Republic Grand Prix under the domination of Marcel schrotter. The Dynavolt pilot has apparently recharged his batteries during the summer break and presents himself as the man of the return. Will he confirm on this day, the highlight of which will be the afternoon qualifications? To see, while at KTM, we hope to have found solutions to the problems displayed since Friday.

Before answering all these questions, here is the table which unfortunately only refreshes the memory…

In 2'03.216, Olive tree brings a smile back to KTM by signing the first reference of the session. Quarterly also starts well with the fourth entry beat.

More Marini shows that it is a flash in the pan since he passes the 2'03 lap mark in 2'02.735. The 2017 times are finally approaching. But there is still a way to go to worry the record of Johann zarco which has held since 2016 in 2'01.581… In 2(02.643, bagnaia responds to his teammate so well that we have a Sky VR46 double after ten minutes of action.

Roberts falls at turn 7 with his NTS. He was 25th in front of the Mistral610 of Gardner and behind the SpeedUp of Kent. The latter's teammate who is none other than Quarterly is then tenth.

Halfway through the session, we have the same duo in mind followed byAlex Marquez, Schrotter, who has not yet improved his Friday time, and Mir. Olive tree is sixth. Granado fall, his second accident of the weekend. He was 29th. Sam Lowes also gets going at turn 3. He was 12th. Meanwhile, we warm up between Marquez et Quarterly...

For the last quarter of an hour, the track is almost at 44°. Manzi crash at turn 3; like his teammate Granado of a Forward team which announced a joint adventure in the category with MV Agusta. He was 27th. lecuona, teammate of Sam Lowes, takes the fourth time as the last five minutes approach. here he is, the best of the KTMs. Because Olive tree is seventh. Quarterly slips fourteenth with the SpeedUp. We will leave it there with a double from the pilots of Valentino Rossi ! Remy gardner is ninth for the Tech3 team.
