2023 Jerez Moto2 Practice 3 Result: Canet Claims Lap Record

By Zara Daniela | Sat, 29/04/2023 - 08:04

Although conditions allowed for a complete reshuffling of the combined top 14 positions in the final practice session, all eyes were on the battle between Friday headliner Sam Lowes and home favourite Pedro Acosta, who swapped top spot throughout the session, only to be shown up by Aron Canet stealing the all-time lap record for Moto2 in the final couple of minutes of P3. Acosta tried to retaliate but came five hundredths of a second short, with Lowes another three tenths back.

Amongst the supporting actors, Albert Arenas climbed into fourth, with Alonso Lopez making a slower start but joining the top five in the closing stages. After leading the way early in the session, Jake Dixon dropped to sixth position, seven tenths off the leader and just ahead of rookie Sergio Garcia and Filip Salac. Although he was the only man who failed to improve his time from Friday, Somkiat Chantra was securely into Q2 with ninth place on the combined standings, while Celestino Vietti rounded out the top 10.

The final tickets straight to Q2 were handed out to some of the usual suspects, Tony Arbolino, Fermín Aldeguer, Barry Baltus and Bo Bendsneyder, while Lukas Tulovic missed out by seven hundredths of a second. He will be joined in Q1 by the likes of Manuel Gonzalez, Dennis Foggia, Ai Ogura and Joe Roberts – all four men over a second slower than the leader. Results:
