Submitted by David Emmett on Fri, 2011-04-29 11:33

Yuki Takahashi topped a torrid session of free practice for the Moto2 class at Estoril, taking the lead at the very end of the session. Thomas Luthi was the man Takahashi deposed, the Interwetten rider having swapped top spot with Marc VDS Racing's Scott Redding for much of FP1. Redding ended the session in 4th, Marc Marquez squeezing ahead of the young Briton at the end. Moto2 championship leader Andrea Iannone could only manage the 9th fastest time, after struggling throughout much of the session.
