Moto3™: Salom displaces Folger into second

Red Bull KTM Ajo's Luis Salom went quickest on day one in Qatar in the second Moto3™ practice session on the opening day ahead of Mapfre Aspar Team Moto3's Jonas Folger and Estrella Galicia 0,0's Alex Rins.Under floodlights for the Commercial Bank Grand Prix of Qatar this weekend it was Salom who put in a best effort of 2'07.341 to displace Folger into second, after the German had topped the morning session.Behind third-placed Rins, teammate Alex Márquez, brother of MotoGP™ rookie Marc Márquez, was fourth fastest, with Niccolò Antonelli and GO&FUN Gresini Moto3 rounding out the top five. In the case of Antonelli, the Italian was fortunate to re-join the action after a fall at Turn 10. Behind came Mahindra Racing's Efrén Vázquez in sixth spot from Ambrogio Racing's Brad Binder and Avant Techno's Niklas Ajo.It was a mixed session for Team Calvo, including for Maverick Viñales, the rider regarded by many as this year's title favourite. Still recovering after a crash at the final pre-season test in which he lost a fingertip, the Spaniard ended his evening ninth, as newbie and first female Moto3™ rider Ana Carrasco frustratingly managed only ten minutes of track time. Jakub Kornfeil completed the top ten for Redox RE Racing GP.
