A new lap record is landed by the Leopard Racing rider as Fernandez and Carpe complete the top three
A 1:34.726 from David Almansa (Leopard Racing) handed the Spaniard a lap record-breaking top spot on Friday at the Liqui Moly Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix, as teammate Adrian Fernandez and Red Bull KTM Ajo’s Alvaro Carpe rounded out the top three.
Angel Piqueras (FRINSA – MT Helmets – MSI) was P4 after improving in the closing stages, with P5 going the way of home crowd star Joel Kelso (LEVELUP – MTA). The Australian left it late to jump back into the top 10 after a strong start to Practice, with compatriot Jacob Roulstone (Red Bull KTM Tech3) also making it through despite a late problem with his machine – the Australian ended the session in P11.
Indonesian GP podium finisher Guido Pini (Liqui Moly Dynavolt Intact GP) was P6, one place ahead of World Champion Jose Antonio Rueda (Red Bull KTM Ajo) in P7. Elsewhere, Maximo Quiles (CFMOTO Gaviota Aspar Team) claimed P8 as the #28 aims to wrap up the Rookie of the Year accolade this weekend - that's one to watch between him and Carpe.
