BalapMotor.Net – Gelaran balap roda dua terakbar di jagat raya siap kembali tersaji. Tepatnya pada seri ke 2 yang akan diadakan di Negara “Messi” Argentina. Sirkuit Termas de Rio Hondo tentu akan menjadi saksi persaingan sengit seperti saat seri perdana di Qatar 2 minggu lalu.

Pada lima menit sesi FP2, Scott Redding memimpin di posisi teratas. Tak berapa lama, posisinya disalip Loris Baz dan kemudian Marc Marquez. Sang juara bertahan ini berada cukup lama di posisi pertama, hingga sesi menyisakan waktu 14 menit.
Tujuh menit terakhir, sesi berjalan begitu menarik. Tepat pada tiga menit terakhir, Marquez mempertajam catatan waktunya menjadi 1 menit 39,778 detik. Akan tetapi, hanya berselang satu menit kemudian Vinales merebut posisi pertama dengan catatan waktu 1 menit 39,477 detik. Seru! (Deni)
