2024 Phillip Island Moto3 Practice 2 Result: Piqueras Reigns Supreme Once More
Saturday morning in Australia brought another wet start for the lightweight class but the big gaps on the timesheets on Friday still allowed room for improvements on the combined timesheets. If Angel Piqueras was one step ahead on Friday, it looked like David Alonso nearly caught up with him until the final five minutes of practice, when the newly crowned world champion took a painful-looking tumble at turn 6 and allowed the rookie to respond.

Phillip Island MotoGP Saturday Subscriber Notes: Paging Mr (Nearly) Perfect
Phillip Island MotoGP Saturday Subscriber Notes: Paging Mr (Nearly) Perfect
https://photos.smugmug.com/photos/i-58z78GH/0/MKtwCkd28M7CwGtbkhjjM2ZCcQztzhw7zJLH8Hgrm/L/i-58z78GH-L.jpg
Will Phillip Island prove to be the decisive round in the 2024 MotoGP title? That's probably a bit premature, but the momentum definitely swung back again in the Sprint race on Saturday. Helped in no small part by the weather, a wet FP2 making it impossible for the riders to test the soft and medium tires or work on setup. They headed into qualifying and the sprint race pretty much blind.
Phillip Island dries quickly, though. Especially when the wind is as brisk as it was on Saturday, and despite the cold. By the end of FP2, a dry line was starting to appear and some riders switched from soft to medium wet tires. Ten minutes later, at the start of Q1, the majority went out on medium wets for their first run, before joining the four who started out on slicks.
Q1 was fascinating. The lap that took Raul Fernandez to the top of the timesheets was 5 seconds faster than Johann Zarco's best lap at the start of the session. Timing was everything. Being out at the end on a set of slicks you had gotten up to temperature was a ticket to Q2. Raul Fernandez and Enea Bastianini got it right, while Luca Marini just missed, finishing just too early.

Phillip Island MotoGP Friday Round Up: Lost Track Time, Testing Tires, And Perilous Wildlife

Friday was almost the most quintessential Phillip Island MotoGP day. It started off cold and wet, then the rain eased off during free practice for Moto2, then it started hammering down again. The rain got so heavy during the the last 10 minutes of Moto2 FP that MotoGP FP1, which was supposed to start directly after Moto2, was delayed. Then delayed again. And again. And eventually, after two hours, canceled.
By the time MotoGP took to the track for timed practice, however, the track had dried out. "Already this morning when I went out from the hotel, I understood that it was difficult to ride in the morning," Pecco Bagnaia told reporters on Friday afternoon. "But then this afternoon it was maybe the best conditions I ever tried in Phillip Island. It was sunny, no wind, the grip was very high."
The fact there was no wind was the only thing missing from the stereotypical Phillip Island day. Never fear, that is scheduled for Saturday, when it will at least be dry. And FP2 on Saturday morning will be 10 minutes longer than normal, to compensate for the loss of Friday morning.
