An early slice of drama into the Moto2 title deciding weekend, then. Diogo Moreira (Italtrans Racing Team) will be battling it out in Q1 on Saturday afternoon at the Grand Prix of Valencia after finishing Friday’s Practice session in P19, while title rival Manuel Gonzalez (Liqui Moly Dynavolt Intact GP) sails into Q2 with a P10 result on Day 1. Meanwhile, despite a late tumble, Daniel Holgado (CFMOTO Inde Aspar Team) led the way with a 1:32.408, with Jake Dixon (ELF Marc VDS Racing Team) and Daniel Munoz (Red Bull KTM Ajo) completing the top three.
It’s the first time since the Czech GP that Moreira finds himself needing to climb out of Q1
2025 race winners Aron Canet (Fantic Racing) and David Alonso (CFMOTO Inde Aspar Team) are also in the opening part of qualifying
Izan Guevara (BLUCRU Pramac Yamaha Moto2) and Alex Escrig (KLINT Forward Factory Team) completed the top five on Friday, as 0.7s splits the top 21 riders heading into Saturday
