The atmosphere has already gone up a notch in the Moto2 category at Le Mans during a warm-up session which heated up spirits. Particularly with Alex Rins who never stopped disrupting Tom Lüthi's work by following him closely.
The Swiss, who is the man in form this weekend and author of pole position, tried to get rid of the Spaniard by simulating a trajectory error, but it was to better find him in slow motion on next turn.
A war of nerves of which one was a stranger Nakagami who took the best time in front Lüthi et zarco. Baldassari follows but will not be able to start from his first line acquired on the track due to a penalty imposed following non-compliant tire pressure.
