Moto2 Valencia P2: Pedro Acosta is still not satisfied!

Pedro Acosta (Red Bull KTM Ajo) is the Moto2 world champion, but in Valencia, from P2, the Spaniard will be keen to drive home the point. To rap, he was the fastest man in P1 this morning. Titled from Sepang, alone Fermin Aldeguer (Speed ​​Up Racing) stands out even more than future GasGas Tech3 rider in MotoGP. Indeed, he is on an incredible series of three consecutive victories, each time, in style. In Sepang, in fact, he stuck more than seven seconds to Acosta on the line. Even if he is the favorite, others cannot be excluded; starting with Aron Canet (Pons WeGow Los40), for the last outing of the legendary Pons Racing team in Moto2. Tony Arbolino (Elf MarcVDS Racing Team) and Jake Dixon (GasGas Aspar Team) are two other serious customers, although we are used to them. On the other hand, let's be wary of Manuel Gonzalez (Prepago Yamaha VR46 Master Camp) and Marcos Ramirez (American Racing), recently seen on the podium in Qatar and Malaysia, respectively.

So, even if you already know the outcome of this session, come relive it with us! Before we begin, here is a table which summarizes the known facts:

 

Moto2™ Valencia	2022	2023
P1	1'34.797 Augusto Fernández	1'34.024 Pedro Acosta
P2	1'34.948 Pedro Acosta	1'33.768 Pedro Acosta
P3	1'34.592 Pedro Acosta
Q1	1'34.758 Celestino Vietti
Q2	1'34.314 Alonso Lopez
Warm up	1'35.133 Pedro Acosta	XXXXXXX

All time lap record	1'34.314 Alonso Lopez (2022)	1'34.024 Pedro Acosta

 

The blue sky is always present in Valencia, but watch out for the highsides! In Moto3, several big names were seriously affected following falls from the rear.

 

 

From the start, the poison Fermin Aldeguer is spreading across the Moto2 grid. He too goes below the previous track record, but everyone improves. Note the fall ofAyumu Sasaki (Honda Team Asia), as well as the good entry of Marcos Ramirez (American Racing), on the podium for the first time in Malaysia.

 

 

Fermin Aldeguer is on fire, here he goes in 1'33 for the first time in the history of the circuit! At the same time, Ai Ogura et Jake Dixon fail to collide.

 

 

For his last appearance in Moto2, Sam Lowes (Elf MarcVDS Racing Team) is far from ridiculous! Here he is second in this P2, he who will leave the category after 10 years. Second fall for Manuel Gonzalez (Correos Prepago Yamaha VR46 Master Camp), who is perhaps thinking of his podium in Qatar.

While the session was very calm, Aron Canet has set the new track record, with Peter Acosta only a thousandth behind. In the last moments, Peter Acosta takes the lead, ahead of Fermin Aldeguer as well as'Aron canet. The Spaniard is not satisfied with the title! He wants the record for podiums and victories!
