Quartararo tops day two of Moto3

Fabio Quartararo has topped the second day of Moto3 action at Losail, taking provisional pole from Brad Binder in a session that saw a number of the front-runners falling.

The only session of the night, the Frenchman topped the day by 0.221 from the South African, with yesterday’s fastest man Livio Loi a further 0.090 behind him.

However, front-runners Nicolo Antonelli and Jorge Navarro were heavy fallers in the session, with early leader Antonelli taking the worst of the hits as he picked himself up holding a collarbone. The duo finished the day in 10^th and 14^th respectively.

It was also an unfortunate day for the UK’s only rider John McPhee. Already struggling after losing much of his winter testing to a bent chassis, a crash in the early stage of the session left him completing only eight laps and finishing back in 26^th.

The next outing for the Moto3 class will be their qualifying session tomorrow.
