It was finally under a beautiful sun, while a storm was expected at the end of the afternoon, that the 18 riders in the MotoE category began the E-Pole exercise one by one.
On the Austrian circuit, the best time so far has been achieved by Héctor Garzó (Tech 3 E-Racing) in 1'35.028 at the end of the first 3 free practice sessions.
Starting in the reverse order of the combined ranking for a single round, the hierarchy has logically continued to evolve to present us first Sete Gibernau (Join Contract Pons 40) at the top, then Alex De Angelis (OCTO Pramac MotoE) in 1'35.774 after the first 6 riders (therefore the 6 slowest).
Note that Randy de Puniet et Nico Terol saw their time canceled for having exceeded the limits of the track.
Jesko Raffin (Dynavolt Intact GP), very motivated to make his return to Moto2 next year (at NTS), then lowered the provisional reference to 1'35.365.
Xavier Simeon (Avintia Esponsorama Racing) then took the advantage in 1'35.193 before Mattia Casadei (Ongetta SIC58 Squadracorse) makes a mistake.
After a while, Mike Di Meglio (EG 0,0 Marc VDS) took the lead in 1'35.182 and kept it until the end, Héctor Garzó, the last competitor to leave, making a heat during his timed lap.
The 8-lap race will take place tomorrow at 10 a.m.
