Guevara Paces First Moto2 Session at Mandalika
Izan Guevara led Moto2 FP1 at Pertamina Mandalika Circuit with a 1:32.702. Alex Escrig was second and Manuel Gonzalez third. American Joe Roberts finished 17th.
Guevara’s 1:32.702 best lap came at Pertamina Mandalika Circuit, a 4.30-kilometer Indonesian venue, during Friday morning FP1 for the Moto2 World Championship. He was one of 28 riders, using a Pirelli-equipped BLU CRU Pramac Yamaha Boscoscuro.
Escrig’s KLINT Racing Team Forward was second, while Gonzalez’s LIQUI MOLY Dynavolt Intact GP Kalex took third. Agius and Alonso completed the top five. Joe Roberts, on an OnlyFans American Racing Team Kalex, placed 17th. The weekend also includes Moto3 and MotoGP activity at Mandalika.
The result may shape fan attention and team confidence early in the Indonesian weekend, especially for Guevara’s supporters and Moto2 followers. A strong Friday could influence qualifying strategy and media coverage, potentially boosting visibility for riders, sponsors, and the Mandalika event. For local audiences and tourism, a closely watched race weekend may bring economic and cultural exposure, though the actual effect depends on attendance, broadcasts, and race outcomes.
