Losail, Moto2, FP2: Folger this time the best

The Moto2s played a second part this Thursday on the Losail track which opens the Grand Prix season in Qatar this weekend. If, at the start, it was Lüthi who dominated the debates, the rest was punctuated by Jonas Folger this time the best, and who integrated well within a new team that he shares with a buried Sandro Cortese.

The German dominated from start to finish with a final time of 1'59.566 which however contested until the checkered flag a Sam Lowes with a style as flamboyant as ever. The Briton has fallen again and starts riding with well-rapped leather, the trademark of a Lowes family that is never prey to doubt and moderation.

The third man is wiser since he is a alex rins who has made a significant leap in the hierarchy, proof of a lot of serious in-depth work. A situation well understood by the World Champion and apparently future Suzuki Grand Prix rider John Zarco who, with his fourth position, remains in the leading group.

Morbidely closes the top 5. The new Marc VDS driver forgets the teammate Alex Marquez which closes the list of the top 10. The best performer of the start, Lüthi, has not lost all his splendor since he is sixth, pursued by Baldassari, Nakagami and Corsi.

The session was also marked by the fall of Pasini while newcomers Leopard have not yet shown their claws. Olive tree is twentieth and Kent twenty-second. As for Tech3 drivers, it's even a little more complicated. Xavier Virgo is twenty-third and the beginner Isaac Vinales twenty-sixth, all with KYB suspensions.

Hostilities will resume tomorrow at 17:55 p.m. for a single free practice session.
