2019 Jerez Moto2 FP3 Result: Gardner Takes Centre Stage

Submitted by Zara Daniela on

After another delay caused by yet another red flag in the premier class, Moto2 riders took their turn to ensure a Q2 place and finish whatever work they had left on setup. Finding time was not an issue in the cooler conditions and a handful of riders beat Friday’s benchmark from the off, led by early leader Alex Marquez. The Spaniard showed good pace in his long runs but did not get to keep top position to the checkered flag because of a rapid Remy Gardner. The Australian took over the lead in the final third of the session to show the way by one tenth of a second and under the lap record.

2019 Jerez Moto2 FP2 Result: Schrotter Sneaks Ahead Of Marquez

Submitted by Zara Daniela on

Despite a small delay with the start due to a late red flag in the MotoGP session, the intermediate class riders were eager to go out and brave the heat. While the FP1 benchmark took some beating, Tetsuta Nagashima was the fastest man on track for much of the session, dethroning FP1 leader Jorge Navarro. Fresh rubber came out of its heaters for the final five minutes and it made a massive difference to the timesheets. Marcel Schrotter was the main beneficiary, the Dynavolt rider leading the way from Alex Marquez, who missed out on top honours by only one hundredth of a second.

However, the Triumph engine seemed pretty handy around Jerez and Jorge Navarro put it to good use to top the timesheets with a time under the lap record for Moto2. Brad Binder got close, under two hundredths of a second slower than the leader and  Jorge Martin made it an excellent start for KTM in the top three.
