Manuel Gonzalez topped the Moto2 timed practice session, breaking his ownౠ new record lap from FP1 to head to Q2 with the best Frౠiday time under his belt ahead of round seven, The British Grand Prix at Silverstone.

The Liqui Moly Dynavolt Intact♔ GP rider began his day with record pace, and after a frustrating few laps in traffic 💟with a large group waiting around on track for him, looking for a tow - which ruined his previous red sector effort - the championship leader knuckled down and bounced back with a record 2m 02.11s laps, lifting the Spaniard from fourth for first in the session.

That effort displaced his teammate Senna Agius, who had gone top directly after Filip Salac had hit the top of the timesheets, the Australian fi꧙nishing the day 0.429s slower.

Salac had been an early faller from his🏅 Elf Marc VDS bike. His return to track saw him 17th with as many minutes remaining, chipping away from there until he hit the top, again working with team-mate Jake Dixon on his way to a lap which held on for a toꦡp three finish on Friday as the top Boscuscuro rider.

Diogo Moreira moved from 15th to third with♒ three minutes remaining, only ♔pushed back by Gonzalez for fourth for Italtrans.

Barry Baltus was the best of the 🤡Fantic Racing Lino Sonego riders with the fifth best time, ahead of Aspar rider Daniel Holgado who in sixth took over as top rookie, well ahead of teammate David Alonso, who held the honour in the earlier session, now 18th after a fall.

FP1 had seen Ayumu Sasaki in a more expected 22nd, but the timed session saw a huge turnaround in fortunes for the RW - Idrofoglia Racing GP rider, enjoying one of his best session since making the move up to Moto2, in seven🔥th.

Dixon was eighth overnight ahead of his home round for Marc VDS, with Joe Roberts also as high as second in the session as he too looked to be back t💙o near his b⭕est in ninth for American Racing.

Jorge Navarro again pushed his Forward bik💞e to the limit to put it inside🦩 the top ten for the Klint Factory Team.

Ivan Ortola had a strong rookie showing in eleventh for QJ Motor - Frinsa - MSI. Deniz Oncu left it very late to climb into the Q2 places with his last lap pulling him up form  22nd to twelfth, at the expense of Marcos😼 Ramirez.

The final automatic progression slots went to Izan Guevara, in 13th for Blu Cru Pramac Yamaha and Albert Arenas, who was 22nd when he moved up to🐭 13th, only dropping one place further for Italjet Gresini.

Ramirez was not the only rider tไo miss out, leading to a stacked Q1 wher🦩e there are many candidates to progress.

Aron Canet was fourth when he lost the rear at turn five. The Fantic rider saw his lap time slip down, pushed o🔥ut by Arenas just before the chequered flag.

Tony Arbolino saw his Pramac Yamaha Moto2 ride drop to 19th, with Celestino Vietti suffe💦ring a similar fate on his Beta Tools SpeedRS bike in 20th, one spot aheadꦡ of his teammate, Alonso Lopez.

The earlier FP1 session saw Gonzalez take over at t🐎he top by smashing the old lap record. Leaving him 0.811s ahead of closest rival Dixon after just one session.

The top three was completed by Canet, ahead of Agius and Salac in the top five. Navarro had a strong early showing ꧃for Forward in sixth, while top rookie Alonso towed himself up to seventh, bit still a second away from ❀the record pace of Gonzalez.

There were physical issues for Mario Aji , who set no time in FP1 and was later declared unfit to continue🎶 the Silverstone meeting.

Collꦿin Veijer is absent following a training accident and is not replaced at Red Bull KTM Ajo. Italtrans is also a one rider t🔯eam for the UK round with Adrian Huertas out of action.

Alex Escrig is also still missing from the Moto2 paddock, but Forward have enli💦sted Daniel Munᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚoz (24th) to fill in once again.
