Japanese people Ayumu Sasaki (Husqvarna) completed the first day of practice of Moto3 Australian Grand Prix at the Phillip Island circuit as the category leader, after he beat his compatriot Tatsuki Suzuki (Honda) and with the Brazilian Diogo Moreira (KTM) in third position.
The world leader, the Spanish It’s Guevara (GasGas) finished the first day of practice with the fourth fastest time and leads his nearest rival in the fight for the world title, which he can mathematically achieve in Sunday’s race.
Although the sky gradually covered with clouds and some rain fell at the end of the first round of free practice Moto2, the second and final session of Moto3 started without it appearing, but parts of the track were still wet, to slow down. down to the first evolutions of the participants in the smallest of the championship categories.
the brazilian Diogo Moreira (KTM), who had been fastest in the morning session, was also fastest at the start of the second, with a time of 1:45.702 first and 1:45.095 afterwards, when in the morning he jumped to 1:39.773, although all that had to change with more than thirty minutes of practice still left to play.
These track conditions have created some dangerous situations, including some scares, such as a star Sergio Garcia Dolls (GasGas) stepping on the “piano” on the hard shoulder as soon as the session started, and there was intense work by all the teams on the factory road.
García Dols was definitely the first to lower his time in the morning by shooting 1:39.401 and 1:39.283, which also put him at the head of the batch, as track conditions improved as the minutes passed.
From that moment the situation “lasted” a lot, with more than a quarter of an hour of practice ahead and many pilots improving their personal best times.
Sergio Garcia Dolls He starred in several consecutive fast laps, the third in 1:39.051, where he gradually reduced the distances to the circuit record of the category, still very far -three seconds-, established in 2014 by the Spaniard as well that of Àlex Márquez (Honda ), who then lapped in 1:36.050.
And so, then, in the last part of the session, the Japanese Ayumu Sasaki (Husqvarna) climbed to first position with a time of 1:37.797, beating his compatriot Tatsuki Suzuki (Honda), which until then commanded the top of the table, along with the Brazilian Diogo Moreira (KTM), one of the great entertainers of the day, third.
the ruler of the world, It’s Guevara (GasGas), finished in fourth position, just ahead of his teammate Sergio Garcia Dolls and with his most direct rival in the championship, the Italian Dennis Foggia (Honda), in sixth place, a result that if done on Sunday in the race would mathematically give the Spaniard the world title.
Yes Foggia He finished sixth, followed by his compatriots Andrea Migno (slingshot) and Stefano Nepa (KTM), with the Spaniards Jaume Masia (KTM) and Adrian Fernandez (KTM), below, and with the Anglo-Saxons John McPhee (Husqvarna), joel kelso (KTM) and scott ogden (Honda), closing the positions with the right to be directly in the second classification, a goal that the Spaniards did not reach Carlos Dad (CFMoto), David Munoz (KTM), Daniel Holgado (KTM), Ivan Ortola (KTM), Xavier Artigas (CFMoto) and Anna Carrasco (KTM).
Neither are related pilots like Turkish Deniz Oncu (KTM), sixteenth, or Japanese Ryūsei Yamanaka (KTM), who finished behind him.
