The LCR E-Team’s Eric Granado clocked the fastest lap in MotoE™ FP2 at the Circuito de Jerez-Angel Nieto, a session which saw all 18 riders in the field better Miquel Pons’ FP1 benchmark. Granado went as quick as a 1:48.861, with the top three rounded out by Hector Garzo (Tech3 E-Racing) on a 1:48.972 and inaugural Cup Champion Matteo Ferrari (Felo Gresini MotoE™) on a 1:49.073.
Also into the top eight which goes directly into Q2 were Pons Racing 40 team-mates Mattia Casadei and Jordi Torres, Pons (LCR E-Team), Hikari Okubo (Avant Ajo MotoE™), and Dominique Aegerter (Dynavolt Intact GP MotoE™).
Alex Escrig (Tech3 E-Racing) was fastest of those who will have to go into Q1, at just 0.053s slower than Aegerter, but will have one more chance to earn a shot at pole.
