Jorge Navarro (+EGO Speed Up) is the rider to beat after Moto2™ FP1 at the Gran Premio TISSOT de Aragon, as the Spaniard sits 0.473s clear of Sam Lowes (Elf Marc VDS Racing Team) thanks to a 1:53.100. Marco Bezzecchi (SKY Racing Team VR46) is just over half a second down on Navarro’s superior pace on Friday morning, the Italian claimed P3 on the timesheets.

Augusto Fernandez (Elf Marc VDS Racing Team) and World Championship leader Remy Gardner (Red Bull KTM Ajo) completed the top five, with the recovering Raul Fernandez (Red Bull KTM Ajo) seemingly – and understandably – in a little bit of discomfort after suffering a small metacarpal fracture last week. The man second in the Championship completed 10 laps in FP1 and finished P7.
Clear discomfort for @25RaulFernandez ????
