This Friday afternoon in Jerez promises to be scorching for the Moto2 protagonists who will be even hotter than during FP1 in the morning. A session that Luca Marini took on, ahead of Navarro, his teammate on crutches Bezzecchi and the winner of the first round in Qatar, Nagashima. Augusto Fernandez was absent, like Xavier Virginie, while Lüthi fell, like Manzi who, a little earlier than him, had completely destroyed his bike.
What does this FP2 have in store for us? Before knowing it, let us refresh our memory with the painting that has always been with us…
