A 1:34.726 from David Almansa (Leopard Racing) handed the Spaniard a lap record-breaking top spot on Friday at the Liqui Moly Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix, as teammate Adrian Fernandez and Red Bull KTM Ajo’s Alvaro Carpe rounded out the top three.
Angel Piqueras (FRINSA – MT Helmets – MSI) was P4 after improving in the closing stages, with P5 going the way of home crowd star Joel Kelso (LEVELUP – MTA). Compatriot Jacob Roulstone also moved through, the Red Bull KTM Tech3 rider in P11 despite a late tech issue
Guido Pini (Liqui Moly Dynavolt Intact GP) was P6, one place ahead of World Champion Jose Antonio Rueda (Red Bull KTM Ajo) in P7
Maximo Quiles (CFMOTO Gaviota Aspar Team) claimed P8 as the 28 aims to wrap up the Rookie of the Year accolade this weekend – that’s one to watch between him and Carpe
