Sam Lowes has topped the first session of free practice for the Moto2 class. The Englishman has a new Speed Up chassis at the Sachsenring, and immediately put it to good effect, constantly being at or near the top of the timesheets. A final push took him ahead of Johann Zarco and back to top spot. Takaaki Nakagami also sneaked ahead of Zarco, the Japanese rider having a good weekend so far in Germany. Zarco took 3rd, just a tenth behind Lowes, and a couple of hundredths behind Tito Rabat, the reigning Moto2 champion finishing 4th despite having had surgery to plate his broken collarbone earlier this week.
