British racer Sam Lowes, riding his Elf Marc VDS Racing Kalex, was fastest in Moto2 Free Practice Two (FP2) Friday afternoon in Le Mans, France.
Using Dunlop control tires, Lowes lapped the 2.6-mile (4.2 km) circuit in 1:36.178, which was quicker than Augusto Fernandez’s 2022 Race Lap Record of 1:36.276.
Americans Joe Roberts and Sean Dylan Kelly (SDK) both improved their lap times, their rankings on the time sheet, and their deficit to the top rider during FP2. Italtrans Racing’s Roberts ended up P13 with a 1:37.001, which was just 0.823 behind Lowes, and American Racing Team’s SDK ranked 19th with a 1:37.194, which was just 1.016 seconds slower than Lowes.
