Moto3 India P2: A session delayed by 45 minutes, but Collin Veijer in the lead!

The P2 Moto3 in India opens this 2023 overseas tour, which promises to be long, dense, and particularly trying. In the smallest category, the championship has been completely relaunched for two rounds. Indeed, Daniel Holgado (Red Bull KTM Tech3) did not really assume his favorite status by underperforming at Misano, which allowed Ayumu Sasaki (Liqui Moly Husqvarna Intact GP) to get closer to just four points in the standings. general. Behind it, it grows. Jaume Masiá (Honda Leopard Racing) is in great form, and has two second places in as many races. Each time, he was beaten on the line by the brilliant Colombian rookie David Alonso (Gaviota GasGas Aspar Team), which gains more and more weight as the season progresses. Behind, of course, others remain on the lookout, starting with Iván Ortolá (KTM Angeluss MTA Team) and Deniz Öncü (Red Bull KTM Ajo).

(Early this morning, Jaume Masia had already distinguished himself, in front Diogo Moreira et Stefano Nepa.

The session is delayed due to track conditions, with no more known at this time. Odd. We are already 30 minutes into the deadline as we write these lines. Definitely. But what is happening on the Buddh circuit? Some sources mention a meeting between the MotoGP riders and the race management, but others speak of the race commissioners, who are not yet in office. However, all this information should be taken with a grain of salt.

 

 

Some details at 10:25 a.m.; the commissioners' positions are now ready, and the session will start at 10:30 a.m., a delay of 45 minutes. Not bad. Quickly after the opening of the pit lane, the same drivers as this morning shine; Jose Antonio Rueda (Red Bull KTM Garlic), Collin Veijer (Liqui Moly Husqvarna Intact GP) and of course, Jaume Masia. David Alonso, on the ground this morning, tastes Indian bitumen again. Filippo Farioli (Red Bull KTM Tech3) imitates him shortly after.

 

 

Pay attention to the small drop to Jaume Masia ! The Spaniard, like the others, is looking for the limit on this new track. Collin Veijer takes the best time. Moreover, the Dutchman, surprise poleman at Spielberg, has just achieved the best time of the weekend in 2'00.077. Will he be the first to go under two minutes? His teammate Ayumu Sasaki now joins the dance.

 

 

A new fall for Taiyo Furusato, he who was the first pilot to inaugurate the Indian gravel traps. Apart from a few falls, the session was extremely calm. With less than ten minutes to go, Colin Veijer records the first round in 1'59 of the history of the Indian Grand Prix! He has come back well since his crash in qualifying in Barcelona, ​​there is no doubt about it. Ivan Ortolá, twice winner this season, falls in turn. Then, Jaume Masia is also under two minutes per lap, while Daniel Holgado still can't restart!

 

 

Other falls should be noted; Those of Riccardo Rossi (Honda Sic58 Squadra Corsica), José Antonio Rueda and Roman Fenati (Honda Snipers Team). Eventually, Collin Veijer keeps his best time while Daniel Holgado is having another disastrous day! Currently in 14th position, he is not qualified for Q2 and worse, he even had a crash on the very last lap! He must wake up or risk seeing the title slip away from him, purely and simply.
