Briton Sam Lowes (Estrella Galicia 0’0 Kalex) successfully defended his first free practice spot for the Czech Republic Moto2 Grand Prix at the Brno circuit from attacks by Italian Luca Marini (Kalex), who had to settle for the second position.
Xavier Vierge (Kalex), not very successful at the start of the season, was the first to surprise as he moved from the sixteenth position he occupied yesterday to the first, although the position was short-lived, as he was initially overtaken by Italian Luca Marini ( Kalex) and then up to four more drivers, including Marco Ramírez (Kalex) and Jorge Navarro (Speed Up), third and fourth, respectively.
