Pedro Acosta led Moto2 World Championship Free Practice One (FP1) Friday at Ricardo Tormo Circuit, near Valencia, Spain. Riding his Red Bull KTM Ajo Kalex, the newly crowned World Champion lapped the recently repaved 2.5-mile (4.0 km) course in 1:34,024. Not only was that fast enough to lead the 32-rider field, but it broke Alonso Lopez’ 2022 All-Time Lap Record of 1:34.314.

Americans Joe Roberts (1:35.293) and Sean Dylan Kelly (1:36.576) finished the session 21st and 31st, respectively.
