Aldeguer sets new lap record on Sunday morning

The gauntlet has been thrown by the young Spaniard as he gets ready to start from pole in Argentina

The only rider to get within half a second of new Moto2™ Termas de Rio Hondo lap record holder Fermin Aldeguer (MB Conveyors Speed Up) in Warm Up at the Gran Premio Michelin® de la República Argentina was World Championship leader Celestino Vietti (Mooney VR46 Racing Team) – and the Italian was 0.283s shy. Aldeguer, today’s polesitter, set a 1:42.547 in the extended 20-minute session to really lay down a marker on Sunday morning, as Aron Canet (Flexbox HP40) finished third fastest.

Sam Lowes (Elf Marc VDS Racing Team) and Augusto Fernandez (Red Bull KTM Ajo) completed the top five in Warm Up ahead of the race that kicks off at 13:20 local time (GMT-3).
