Lowes leads the way after Friday morning P1

Sam Lowes (Elf Marc VCDS Racing Team) flew to the top of the timesheets in Moto2™ Practice 1 to get his Gran Premio MotoGP™ Guru by Gryfyn de España off to the perfect start with a 1:41.170. The Brit had Somkiat Chantra (IDEMISTU Honda Team Asia) right on his tail as the Thaj rider put in a solid display only to lose the top spot in the closing stages of the session. Alonso Lopez (Beta Tools Speedup) also started strong as he rounded out the top 3 for his first session on home soil in 2023.
