Aldeguer fastest as the Island dries for Moto2

Following a wet Free Practice session in the morning, Phillip Island’s newly resurfaced layout dried out towards the end of Moto2™ and coming out on top was Fermin Aldeguer (Beta Tools SpeedUp).

The Spaniard set a 1:32.718 to beat Aron Canet (Fantic Racing) by a couple of tenths and teammate Alonso Lopez by three tenths to head into Saturday as the rider to catch.

Japanese GP winner Manuel Gonzalez (Gresini Moto2™) and Jake Dixon (CFMOTO Inde Aspar Team) completed a top five split by just under six seconds.

Sergio Garcia (MT Helmets – MSI), the rider second in the Championship, ended Friday in P7 despite a crash in the morning, one place behind sixth fastest Tony Arbolino (Elf Marc VDS Racing Team).

Ai Ogura (MT Helmets – MSI) finished Day 1 of his first match point weekend in P13, 1.4s away from Aldeguer’s pace.
