Migno dominant, weather playing a leading role
It’s been a perfect weekend in Mandalika so far for the Rivacold Snipers Team, with Migno topping FP2 and FP3 after Surra had gone fastest in FP1. With wet weather greeting the riders on Saturday morning, there were no prizes for guessing that Friday’s dry times weren’t going to be improved, meaning the FP2 standings dictate which riders are heading into Q2.
Q2 runners – Garcia in Q1
Migno leads Carlos Tatay (CFMoto Racing PrüstelGP) and Leopard Racing’s Dennis Foggia on the combined standings, with Ayumu Sasaki (Sterilgarda Husqvarna Max) and Izan Guevara (Gaviota GASGAS Aspar Team) rounding out the top five. Deniz Öncü (Red Bull KTM Tech3), Riccardo Rossi (SIC58 Squadra Corse), Jaume Masia (Red Bull KTM Ajo), Scott Ogden (VisionTrack Racing Team) and Ivan Ortola (Angeluss MTA Team) are the fastest 10 riders so far this weekend.
