0

In Moto3™, the combined timings lay incredible foundations for the year ahead. Spaniard Martin, who took nine poles in 2017 and finished the year off with a win, broke his own lap record on Wednesday ar the venue, with the new track surface making for some impressive laptimes. And behind the Del Conca Gresini Moto3 rider are two of his most hotly-tipped rivals for the title this season: Enea Bastianini (Leopard Racing), settling into his new team well, and Aron Canet (Estrella Galicia 0,0), the 2017 race winner at the Andalusian venue.

Moto2™ goes down to the wire: Rins vs Zarco (vs Lowes)

0

Zarco has five wins, Rins two, but their podium count is the same. The Ajo Motorsport rider went on an incredible winning spree throughout four of the fives races from the Catalan GP onwards, and after his win in the Austrian GP, was 34 points clear at the top of the Championship – but then the dominoes began to fall. Brno saw the Frenchman on pole in the dry, and then struggling on race day in difficult conditions – giving Rins and Lowes an opportunity that neither missed. With Zarco crossing the line in P11, Rins and Lowes laid enough on the line to take necessary risks – but not too many, locking out the podium in P2 and P3

Lowes: “After Assen I get my first go on the Aprilia!”

With Zarco just a further 2 points behind you in the standings, do you now see it as a three-way battle for the title now?“I have always said my title rivals would be Rins and Zarco. When Zarco had one or two bad races, everyone was counting him out. He won the second race of the year, then people were writing him off after Jerez. I suppose that’s Moto2, but for me it’s always been myself, Zarco and Rins. Hopefully I can keep taking the fight to them. If you had said to me in Japan last year that after seven races I would be two points ahead of Zarco, I’d have bitten your hand
