Maverick Vinales continues Moto3 leadership in Day 2 at Valencia

Maverick Vinales continues to dominate the Moto3 class testing scene at the Valencia circuit, in a Spanish and KTM rule.

The La Glisse rider blasted out a 1’40.168 lap which was six tenths of second faster than yesterday and more than one second faster that Jonas Folger’s 2012 pole position record (1′41.263) at the Spanish circuit, but Vinales wasn’t the only rider to head under the 1.41 barrier as Alex Rins, Louis Salom and Romano Fenati were all under the mark.

Fenati who was fourth, Brad Binder in 9th and Miguel Oliveira in 10th, were the only riders that were able to break the KTM hegemony between the full fledged KTM and the Kalex KTM machines as Zulfahmi Khairuddin finished the day in 5th while Alex Marquez was 6th and more than 1.1 adrift from Vinales and ahead of Jonas Folger who was just 0.066s faster than Jakub Kornfeil.

Crashers included Toni Finsterbusch, Danny Webb and Lorenzo Baldassarri, while yesterday’s revelation Ana Carrasco dropped from 12th to 24th.
