2018 Moto2 and Moto3 Results Friday from Mugello — Man of the moment Joan Mir underlined his growing status by topping the time-sheets in Moto2, the Marc VDS Kalex rookie within a tenth of the race lap record, and more than a tenth clear of Sam Lowes, on the SII KTM.
2018 Moto2 and Moto3 Results Friday from Mugello
The reigning Moto3 champion, fresh from a first Moto2 podium at Le Mans, had a best qualification of fourth at the French track.
Championship leader Pecco Bagnaia (SKY V46 Kalex) was third fastest.
Last year’s Mugello winner Mattia Pasini (Italtrans Kalex) placed a close fourth, three hundredths slower: then race-winner Lorenzo Baldassarri (HP40 Kalex) from rookie Romano Fenati (Marinelli Kalex).
Luca Marini, Andrea Locatelli (both Kalex), Fabio Quartararo (Speed Up) and Alex Marquez (Kalex) completed the top ten. Marquez had been fastest in the morning, but was the only rider in the top 20 not to improve in the afternoon.
The top 17 were within one second.

2018 Moto2 and Moto3 Results Friday from Mugello
Moto3
Times were relatively spread in Moto3, known for ultra-close race results here, but with just 13 inside the first second.
Top of the lists, once again Jorge Martin (Del Conca Honda), with a margin of better than three tenths over Aron Canet (EG Honda); with another Honda – ridden by SIC58 rider Tatsuki Suzuki – in third.
But the KTMs are fighting back, with Jerez winner Philipp Oettl (Sudmetal Schedl team) and Argentine winner Marco Bezzecchi (Redox Pruestel) either side of Kaito Toba (Honda Team Asia). Bezzecchi leads the championship from Honda’s Fabio Di Giannantonio, placed ninth behind the KTMs of Kornfeil and McPhee.
