Manuel Gonzalez smashed the All-Time Lap Record during Moto2 World Championship Free Practice One (FP1) Friday morning at Mandalika International Street Circuit, in Indonesia. Riding his Correos Prepago Yamaha VR46 Team Kalex, the Spaniard lapped the 2.6-mile (4.3 km) track in 1:34.871. That time smashed Somkiat Chantra’s 2022 lap record of 1:35.591.

American Joe Roberts was 11th with a 1:35.846 on his Italtrans Racing Kalex. 

Sean Dylan Kelly’s fill-in ride at Forward Racing has come to an end, and the Floridian is not riding in Indonesia.
