After the overnight marathon to get boxes and bikes ready for some action in Argentina, Moto3 riders finally got the pleasure to clean the track for an extended period of time. Most recent winner Dennis Foggia posted some decent lap times on his way to the top of the timesheets in the final couple of minutes of FP1, ending the first of the morning sessions one tenth of a second ahead of Izan Guevara. Diogo Moreira continued his impressive start to his rookie season with third place on his first outing in Argentina, only three tenths off the fastest man.
Kaito Toba and rookie Daniel Holgado completed the top five of the session, ahead of Tatsuki Suzuki and Deniz Öncü. Early session leader Jaume Masia and Ryusei Yamanaka posted identical times and were closely followed by Ayumu Sasaki, who closed the top ten. Although Adrian Fernandez, Sergio Garcia, Scott Ogden and Elia Bartolini make up the top 14 early on, with the Rivacold Snipers duo outside the top 20, timesheets are likely to look very different in a couple hours’ time, once the second practice session is done and hopefully dusted.
