Danny Kent reminded the field of his dominance at last week's Texas race with a practice lap that put him four-tenths of a second clear of the pack in Argentina. Kent's 1'49.154 just barely ecliped Jack Miller's pole position time from last year. Livio Loi and Karel Hanika claimed second and third with identical times but Loi getting the second place nod based on a faster second-fastest lap.
Last week's second place finisher, 15-year-old Fabio Quartararo, ended the session in sixth, just behind Enea Bastianini (4th) and Miguel Oliveira (5th). The weather appeared to slightly worsen with scattered sprinkles in the warm weather at the Termas Rio Hondo track.

Livio knows something about
Livio knows something about the track nobody else knows. last year he came back from far away to take 4th and if the race had been 2 laps longer he probably would have won it.
know all of a sudden he is 2nd. It's where he should be through my chauvinistic Belgian eyes, but it's not "normal"
