Jake Dixon feels like he is 'back on form again' after setting a new Moto2 Lap Record during Practice at the Japanese Grand Prix.

After failing to score a point at the San Marino Grand Prix two weeks ago, Jake Dixon feels like he is back on form after Friday at the Japanese Grand Prix.

The British rider started his weekend in a perfect way as he topped Free Practice One on Friday morning, before topping the Practice timesheets in the afternoon with a new Moto2 Lap Record.

Dixon has not won a race since the Grand Prix of the Americas in March, and is hoping to put together a 'perfect lap' on Qualifying on Saturday to secure pole position ahead of the Moto2 Grand Prix on Sunday.

"I had a great day. I’m feeling really good on the bike and it was like that from the first laps this morning," Dixon said after Friday's Practice sessions.

"I’m still annoyed about how Misano finished up to be honest. I really want to go out and have a good race this weekend. I feel like I’m back. I’ve been back for the last four races, even if the last one was a blip. I’m back on form again.

"P1 today and we’ll be working hard this evening to improve the bike for tomorrow. I need to clean my riding up a little in a few sectors ahead of qualifying. We’ll try to put the perfect lap together and see what we can do tomorrow."

After 16 Rounds of the 2025 Moto2 World Championship, Dixon finds himself fifth in the standings with two race wins and two further podiums to his name. After failing to score points in two of the last five races, the 29-year-old will be hoping for another podium this weekend.
