2025 Argentina Moto2 Free Practice 2 Result: Dixon Domination

By Zara Daniela |

The intermediate class completed their final practice outing in rather grey but dry conditions and it was a familiar picture at the top of the timing screens, with Jake Dixon hogging the limelight throughout FP2 and showing off solid race pace. Barry Baltus managed to close in to within a tenth of  a second of the leader late on, while Aron Canet got right back up to speed after an eventful Friday and climbed into third place on his final flying lap – two tenths behind Dixon. 

2025 Argentina Moto2 Practice Result: Gonzalez Breaks Record In Red-Flagged Session

By David Emmett |

Manu Gonzalez broke the existing Moto2 lap record from 2023 by seven tenths of a second in the afternoon timed practice session. The top 8 all dived under Alonso Lopez' 2023 record.

Alonso Lopez also brought an early end to the practice session, crashing at Turn 4 and leaving his bike laying in the middle of the track, bringing out the red flags with 1'16 left in the session. With so little time left, there was no point restarting, so the session was cut short.

The top 14 pass directly through to Q2.

Jerez - drowned by not out

The MotoGP paddock has vivid memories of the end of October last year, when we heard about the unfolding tragedy of flooding in and around Valencia.

Buriram MotoGP Round At Risk After 2026

By David Emmett |

Reports coming out of Thailand suggest that the Chang International Circuit in Buriram, which hosted the opening round of the 2025 MotoGP season and is set to repeat that in 2026, may lose its spot on the MotoGP calendar from 2027 onwards.

Newin Chidchob, president of the Chang International Circuit, posted on his Facebook page that he had been informed by the Sports Authority of Thailand (SAT) that the Thai government would not extend the contract they have with Dorna to host a round of MotoGP.

However, SAT governor Dr Kongsak Yodmanee told Thai newspaper The Nation that they were still in contract negotiations with Dorna Sports S.L. over a possible contract extension, and that no decision had been made.
