Moto2 may be the Kalex's favorite playground, but there is always a SpeedUp to disrupt the family reunion. Le Mans has just confirmed the situation with a first free practice session dominated by Simone Corsi as determined as usual. He is followed by Alex Rins who revealed himself at the end of the exercise.
The two men are the only ones to lap below 1'38 per lap, a boundary that one narrowly missed. Jonas Folger fast from the start and happy to have already secured his future in MotoGP within the Tech3 team. And it's not a fall at the end of the exercise that will erode his enthusiasm. Lüthi, who loves the route of the Bugatti follows while Baldassari closes the top 5 at Johann zarco.
Morbidely, is seventh ahead of the championship leader Sam Lowes who was discreet. Nakagami, which fell, and Olive tree close the top 10. The Tech3 machines are twenty-fourth and twenty-fifth with Virgin on your mind.
