Lunetta earns Friday top spot as big hitters face Q1

The Italian leads Muñoz and Kelso as Mugello’s top two, Quiles and Carpe, will be in Q1 on Saturday

A 1:40.053 in the latter stages of a dry Moto3 Practice saw Luca Lunetta (SIC58 Squadra Corse) top the Friday afternoon rush at Assen, and his margin to second place was a healthy one. David Muñoz (Liqui Moly Dynavolt Intact GP) was the rider closest to Lunetta, 0.209s the gap, as Joel Kelso (LEVELUP-MTA) completed the top three.

It was a good session for World Championship leader Jose Antonio Rueda (Red Bull KTM Ajo), the #99 was P4 ahead of impressive rookie Valentin Perrone (Red Bull KTM Tech3), but it wasn’t an ideal afternoon for the top two from Mugello.

Both Maximo Quiles (CFMOTO Gaviota Aspar Team) and Alvaro Carpe (Red Bull KTM Ajo) will be in the Q1 fight after finishing outside the top 14, and they’ll be joined by 2025 podium finishers Taiyo Furusato (Honda Team Asia) and Ryusei Yamanaka (FRINSA – MT Helmets – MSI) in a big-hitting Q1 line-up. 

What does Saturday have in store for Moto3 then? They’ll be hoping FP2 will be dry before qualifying gets underway at 12:50 local time.
