The man from Mazarrón confirms his good feelings on his arrival in Motegi, where only his teammate Augusto Fernández and Chantra surpass him
Atypical Friday in the MotoGP World Championship, with only one practice per category when the normal course of business on a first Grand Prix day is two free sessions. The reason is the long and expensive transport of the entire paddock by plane between Aragon and Japan. The current situation, marked by the war in Ukraine, does not make us take any risks with logistics. Last April, MotoGP had to cancel an entire day on Friday due to delays in cargo flights carrying all equipment between Indonesia and Argentina. So on this occasion the organization was sound and Friday morning training was canceled immediately in case there were any delays, something that fortunately did not happen and everything arrived in the Motegi paddock on time.
In Moto2, Augusto Fernández (Red Bull KTM Ajo) is determined to hit the table. After taking the podium in Aragón behind Pedro Acosta (Red Bull KTM Ajo) and Arón Canet (FlexBox HP 40), the Moto2 World Championship leader aims to prove himself in style this weekend at the Japanese GP, the home event of his current biggest rival, Ai Ogura. This Friday, the Spaniard set the fastest time in the lone session of the first day at Motegi, with Chantra in second and a very recovered Pedro Acosta third.
The ‘Shark of Mazarrón’ is back at his best after his sensational victory last Sunday in Aragon and is a clear candidate to return to the podium at Motegi in a race that starts at 6.20 am on Sunday. In Moto2 and Moto3 the riders had just 40 minutes of practice yesterday and there were voices complaining that with the rain on Saturday they wouldn’t have material time to get the saddles ready for Sunday.
