Freezing temperatures at Valencia this morning kept most Moto2 riders in their garages until gone elevenses time when the thermometer rose to a positively balmy ten degress centigrade.
Claudio Corti and Britain's Scott Redding were among the first on track, shortly followed by the rest of pack but the session was shortlived for a couple of riders including Max Neukirchner, Alex De Angelis and Xavier Simeon who all crashed unhurt.
Times have been forthcoming and Redding's final circuiut was a devastating 1'36.5. Awesome if it is to be believed given the track temperature.
