A 1:40.053 in the latter stages of a dry Moto3 Practice saw Luca Lunetta (SIC58 Squadra Corse) top the Friday afternoon rush at Assen, and his margin to second place was a healthy one. David Munoz (Liqui Moly Dynavolt Intact GP) was the rider closest to Lunetta, 0.209s the gap, as Joel Kelso (LEVELUP-MTA) completed the top three.
It was a good session for World Championship leader Jose Antonio Rueda (Red Bull KTM Ajo), the 99 was P4 ahead of impressive rookie Valentin Perrone (Red Bull KTM Tech3), but it wasn’t an ideal afternoon for the top two from Mugello.
Both Maximo Quiles (CFMOTO Gaviota Aspar Team) and Alvaro Carpe (Red Bull KTM Ajo) will be in the Q1 fight after finishing outside the top 14, and they’ll be joined by 2025 podium finishers Taiyo Furusato (Honda Team Asia) and Ryusei Yamanaka (FRINSA – MT Helmets – MSI) in a big-hitting Q1 line-up.
