Be careful with Lowes, who when he puts the direct slope to cross the finish line in front of him. The Englishman won in Jerez two years after his previous victory and now, in Le Mans, he has started the French GP at the top of the Moto2 time table and despite the fact that in the morning free practice he suffered two falls.
The worst version of Sam, the one with a penchant for crawling on the ground, came to light in P1 with two drags that made us wonder if his victory in the previous round, in Jerez and starting from pole position, had been the result of chance. However, When it came time for P2, the man from Marc VDS managed to lead with a five thousandth advantage over Acosta, who in turn beat Alonso López by just under one tenth. The Spaniard can take that initial third for good because he also went to the ground during the afternoon free session, which did not prevent him from finishing ahead.
As it happened in Moto3 and as it will happen in MotoGP, the Moto2 riders have found the asphalt dry in both sessions and with the sun in the sky, which has allowed them to improve from morning to afternoon and not comply intermittent rain forecasts for today that appeared in some parts. Of course, the threat of water at times is still in the air for the remainder of the weekend. If it rained on Saturday morning, those who have already secured their presence in Q2 without going through Q1 are the three mentioned up front (Lowes, Acosta and Alonso) plus Salac, Vietti. Dixon, Arbolino, Chantra, Arenas, González, Ogura, García, Canet and Roberts. Further back, Aldeguer 16th, Ramírez 18th, Alcoba 21st, Guevara 23rd and Escrig 29th.
