Franco Morbidelli (EG 0,0 Marc VDS) and teammate Alex Marquez topped the timesheets in Moto2™’s solo session of the second day at the #QatarGP, with a 2:00.349 for the Italian pipping his teammate by just 0.023.
2015 Moto3™ World Champion Danny Kent (Kiefer Racing) was just behind his predecessor to that crown in P3 - and the fastest Suter machine - ahead of Day 1’s fastest Tom Lüthi (CarXpert Interwetten). Lüthi’s compatriot Dominique Aegerter (Kiefer Racing) completed the top five.
An impressive performance from Xavi Vierge (Tech 3 Racing) on the Tech 3 machine put the Spaniard in P6, ahead of Fabio Quartararo (Pons HP40) – who was the fastest rookie in FP3. Miguel Oliveira (Red Bull KTM Ajo) put in a late dash on the new KTM Moto2™ machine to end the session in P8.
That was a veeeerrrrryy quick one for @Sandrissimo11!
