After his slump during the last two Grands Prix at Jerez, Joe Roberts recalled the good memories of a Moto2 field which had forgotten his performance in the first round in Qatar. But it is true that it was in the world before... The American will not want to stop there with this second pole position of the year. For his part, Bastianini continues to work well to get noticed by Ducati, which Marini also does. In the middle Sam Lowes, who won't give up...
The championship controls could well leave the hands of Nagashima this Sunday since the Japanese will start from very far away in this Czech Republic Grand Prix. Will other contenders emerge before the mid-day race? To find out, you have to follow this warm-up. To get in the mood, here is the table that refreshes our memory…
