So far, Arón Canet is ruling the Moto2 Solidarity GP of Barcelona. This morning, the rider topped Practice 2, making a clean sweep of the practice sessions.
After the first flying laps, Manuel González (Gresini/Kalex) was in the lead but was soon overtaken by Zonta van den Goorbergh. The Dutchman from RW-Idrofoglia Racing GP held the top spot for nearly 20 minutes.
He was eventually surpassed by Jorge Navarro (OnlyFans American Racing Team/Kalex), who briefly lost the lead to the champion Ai Ogura (MT Helmets-MSi/Boscoscuro) before reclaiming it.
Just two minutes later, Canet (Fantic Racing/Kalex) delivered a 1m42.262s lap that remained unbeaten. Navarro ended the session 0.154s behind, with Jake Dixon (CFMOTO Inde Aspar/Kalex) third at 0.233s. Ogura and González rounded out the top five.
