Moto3 India P1: Jaume Masiá inaugurates the circuit with great fanfare!

The P1 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).

This seven-race Asian trip can restart everything. So don't miss any of the action, and even if you already know the outcome of this session, come relive it with us! At a new destination, the table of known facts is just waiting to be filled:

That's it ! The Buddh circuit is officially used by the MotoGP world championship! The weather is good at the moment, and it is very hot in Bharat.

 

 

The drivers are only discovering the route, so it is difficult to get an idea. In particular, these banked turns 8 and 9.

 

 

But also, this straight line more than a kilometer long! 

 

 

In addition, the Indian wild card driver Kadai Yaseen made his first laps on a machine prepared by Petronas. A first.

 

 

Jaume Masia is the first to record a fast lap in 2'00.996, but you can imagine that this is in no way significant for the moment. Roman Fenati (Honda Team Snipers) is second. It must be said that his time seems to be quite impressive, since he is 8 tenths ahead of everyone.

 

 

The rookie Jose Antonio Rueda (Red Bull KTM Ajo) takes third position, while the first fall of the weekend is announced for… Taiyo Furusato (Honda Team Asia). He is first, but it came down to a few seconds since David Alonso imitates him right after. We see that the drivers are starting to push to learn the track.

 

 

At the end of the session, times get crazy. Diogo Moreira (KTM MT Helmets MSi) enters the dance in second position. Then, the rookie Colin Veijer (Liqui Moly Husqvarna Intact GP) And Stefano Nepa (KTM Angeluss MTA Team). Daniel Holgado, who absolutely must react after the disillusionment of Misano, is among the last. Eventually, Jaume Masia maintains its position in front Moreira et Nepa.
