David Alonso threatens to once again be the main protagonist in the Italian Moto3 GP. This morning, the championship leader led the free practice in Mugello with a new record lap and over a second advantage.
After most of the riders completed their respective first flying laps, José Antonio Rueda (Red Bull KTM Ajo) was leading. Alonso (CFMoto Valresa Aspar), who had been the first to set a time, surpassed the Spanish rider, but Rueda responded to regain the lead.
However, with just over eight minutes elapsed, Alonso definitively took the lead. The Colombian set a series of fast laps, continuously improving the reference time. However, it was only on his last lap that he set the time that prevailed: 1m55.818s.
It’s a new record in Mugello, which left Alonso in the lead of the session. Ryusei Yamanaka (MT Helmets-MSi/KTM) was second by 1.068s, while Rueda finished third by 1.232s. Daniel Holgado (Red Bull GasGas Tech3) and Stefano Nepa (LevelUp-MTA/KTM) rounded out the top five.
Times:
Pour la 19ème fois en 21 sessions, David Alonso mène! 👊
