David Almansa reaffirms his dominance in Brazil as riders seek perfection in Moto3

The Spaniard shines in the second free practice session of the Brazilian Grand Prix, with great challenges for his competitors on the 'Ayrton Senna' circuit

The Brazilian Moto3 Grand Prix is taking an exciting turn and David Almansa (KTM) has once again demonstrated his talent by dominating the second round of free practice at the 'Ayrton Senna' circuit in Goiânia. With an impressive time of 1:27.308, the young Spanish driver improved his time by almost three seconds compared to the previous day, consolidating himself as the favorite for the race.

In this session, Almansa was just 57 thousandths ahead of Australian Joel Kelso (Honda), who has shown a solid performance since the start of the event. The Spanish-Argentine Valentín Perrone (KTM) placed just one tenth behind, which predicts a close competition between these talented riders.

The asphalt conditions were optimal from the start of the day, allowing competitors, including Marco Morelli (KTM), to set faster times. The debutant managed to lap in 1:28.247, beating his best time of the first day by more than two seconds, where Almansa had clocked 1:30.260 to lead the table.

As the session progressed, the show continued with other protagonists such as the New Zealander Cormac Buchanan (KTM) and the Spanish Joel Esteban (KTM), who joined the fight for the best times. However, not everyone had a smooth day; Brian Uriarte (KTM) and Álvaro Carpe (KTM) suffered falls that, although without serious consequences, affected their performance during practice.

Morelli managed to improve his time to 1:27.912, but was quickly overtaken by Buchanan, who clocked 1:27.902 before suffering a crash in turn ten. This incident left Buchanan with shoulder discomfort, which could complicate his participation in the following sessions. At the same time, Leo Rammerstorfer (Honda) also fell, probably after stepping on the oil spilled by Buchanan, which led Race Direction to show a red flag to clean the track and attend to the drivers.

Turn 11 became another critical point of the day, where Álvaro Carpe crashed due to the accumulation of gravel on the asphalt. After more than fourteen minutes of interruption, the session resumed, although Buchanan, the previous leader, did not return to action, allowing other drivers such as Kelso and Perrone to take the opportunity to improve their times.

As training resumed, several pilots made mistakes that resulted in further crashes. Jesús Ríos (Honda), a debutant, and Adrián Cruces (KTM) were some of those affected, although both were able to return to the track quickly, showing the competitive spirit of the category.

Finally, David Almansa closed the second session as the undisputed leader, setting a new standard with his time of 1:27.308. This mark represents a notable improvement over their first day performance, and reinforces their status as one of the championship's top contenders.

The results of the training sessions make it clear that the competition in Moto3 is fierce and that any mistake can be costly. Many drivers had their times voided due to infractions for exceeding track limits or failing to respect yellow flags, a reminder of the importance of precision on every lap.

The final positions of the second free round were as follows:

1. David Almansa (KTM) – 1:27.308
2. Joel Kelso (Honda) – 1:27.365
3. Valentín Perrone (KTM) – 1:27.410
4. Adrián Fernández (KTM)
5. Marco Morelli (KTM) – 1:27.912

With the race on the horizon, teams and drivers must find a balance between speed and control, as the Brazilian Grand Prix promises to be an unforgettable event for all motorcycling fans.
