The Moto2 World Championship has officially kicked off, and the atmosphere at the Lusail International Circuit in Doha, Qatar, is electric. Young riders are showcasing their skills, and the competition is fierce. Leading the charge is the talented Manuel Gonzalez, who set the fastest time during the Free Practice session on Friday morning.
Manuel Gonzalez takes the lead
Riding his Pirelli-shod Liqui Moly Dynavolt Intact GP Kalex, Gonzalez clocked an impressive time of .689 seconds, dominating the field of 28 riders. His performance not only highlights his potential but also sets a high bar for his competitors. The 3.34-mile (5.38 km) track at Lusail is known for its challenging layout, and Gonzalez’s ability to navigate it with such speed is a testament to his skill and determination.
Strong competition from seasoned riders
While Gonzalez shone brightly, he was not the only rider making waves. Spanish veteran Aron Canet proved his mettle by finishing second with a time of .967 on his Fantic Racing Lino Sonego Kalex.

Another noteworthy performance came from Turkish rider Deniz Oncu, who secured the third-fastest time with a .138 on his Red Bull KTM Ajo Kalex.
