The only rider to get within half a second of new Moto2™ Termas de Rio Hondo lap record holder Fermin Aldeguer (MB Conveyors Speed Up) in Warm Up at the Gran Premio Michelin® de la República Argentina was World Championship leader Celestino Vietti (Mooney VR46 Racing Team) – and the Italian was 0.283s shy. Aldeguer, today’s polesitter, set a 1:42.547 in the extended 20-minute session to really lay down a marker on Sunday morning, as Aron Canet (Flexbox HP40) finished third fastest.
