Gonzalez grabs Termas Day 1 honours

The Thai GP winner ends a red-flagged Moto2 session at the summit with Lopez and Dixon in tow

World Championship leader Manuel Gonzalez (Liqui Moly Dynavolt Intact GP) has hit the ground running in Termas de Rio Hondo as the Spaniard ended the red-flagged Moto2 Practice session at the top of the timesheets. Gonzalez's 1:41.713 was 0.160s quicker than Alonso Lopez's (Team HDR Heidrun) best time, but it was the #21's crash on the exit of Turn 3 that signalled the premature end to Practice. Lopez was all OK after the crash, and it was fellow Boscoscuro rider, Jake Dixon (ELF Marc VDS Racing Team), who rounded out the top three. 

Marcos Ramirez (OnlyFans American Racing) and Barry Baltus (Fantic Racing) are safely into Q2 after pocketing P4 and P5, with Aron Canet (Fantic Racing) in P6 - but that wasn't the story of the session for the #44. In the closing stages, Canet suffered a big crash at Turn 11 but has been confirmed as fit for the remainder of the event. It wasn't all smiles for one of the key names though, as Diogo Moreira (Italtrans Racing Team) suffered a dramatic fall at Turn 1, missing the remainder of the session and thus finding himself in P15 and going through Q1.
