A dominant Luca Marini on Friday, a Marcel Schrotter who will seek the track record on Saturday morning then a Jorge Martin in pole position at the end of qualifying, here are the main protagonists revealed since the resumption of Moto2 hostilities in Jerez. The race remains open, since Jorge Navarro, second on the starting grid, shows that the Speed-Up has nothing to envy of the Kalex. Finally, the first line is completed by Sam Lowes who we no longer recognize since he is efficient by not falling anymore...
This Sunday is the race at the end of which Nagashima will want to keep its leading position in the championship while Lüthi or even Augusto Fernandez will seek to escape from the bad dynamic in which they are immersed. But first, there is this morning warm-up session, before diving into the cauldron at lunchtime, for a joust under a burning sun which will be at its zenith... Before experiencing this torrid moment, let's refresh our memory with the painting that has always been with us…
