Moto2: It was a perfect start to his second home round of the year for Celestino Vietti (Beta Tools SpeedRS Team) as the Italian clinched P1 on Friday at Misano.

Going into Saturday as the rider to beat, it’s a solid start for Vietti who continues to chase his first win of the year and where better to get it than at Misano? Elsewhere, title race leader Manuel Gonzalez (LIQUI MOLY Dynavolt Intact GP) earned a Friday P2 ahead of Catalan GP winner Daniel Holgado (CFMOTO Inde Aspar Team) in third.

Fourth place went the way of Jake Dixon (ELF Marc VDS Racing Team) despite a final corner crash for the British rider.

After a disappointing weekend in Barcelona, Diogo Moreira (Italtrans Racing Team) completed the top five and looks in decent shape ahead of Saturday’s action.

The same can’t be said for Aron Canet (Fantic Racing Lino Sonego) though because the rider second in the title chase is set for Q1 after finishing Practice in P15.
