In the afternoon, the young Italian struggled a bit more to find the right grip around the Japanese track.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jorge Martin <\/strong>gave the same type of feedback to the team as he only lapped a bit more consistently in the morning, while in the afternoon his gap from the front became really significant. He eventually finished the day in 21<sup>st<\/sup> place, as no rider was able to improve during FP2. <strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Moto3 action will resume tomorrow at 9:00 local time (GMT +9) with Free Practice 3, which will be followed by qualifying at 12:35.<\/p>\n<p><strong>7<sup>th<\/sup> &#8211; FABIO DI GIANNANTONIO<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a positive day. We were quite quick in both session, although in the afternoon I had the feeling that the track conditions got a lot worse \u2013 because there was basically no grip, especially at the rear-end of the bike. In any case, I\u2019m really confident for tomorrow: we need to keep working well during FP3 in order to be competitive in qualifying, but we\u2019re in the right direction.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>21<sup>st<\/sup> &#8211; JORGE MARTIN #88<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt hasn\u2019t been an easy day for me. This morning we got out on track, but it was more to test the conditions of the track. In the afternoon, we immediately made some changes to find a good feeling in wet conditions, but we lacked rear-end grip. We did recover some tenths from the top, but we still need to improve in the wet, so we\u2019ll see how the conditions will be tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The first day of action for the quarter-litre class of MotoGP has drawn to a close at Motegi, with rain heavily affecting the amount of track-time available to the riders&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":25197,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[24,26],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6984","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-moto3-en","category-race-report-moto3-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.3 -
