MarcVDS Moto2 star Scott Redding dominated both free practice session today at the Le Mans Moto2 round, finishing almost four-tenths ahead of second-placed man Thomas Luthi and six-tenths ahead of title rival Pol Espargaro.
Redding had a quarter of a second lead until the last knockings of second practice when Swiss rider Luthi found some pace to challenge the Gloucestershire man, but Pons ace Espargaro had no answer.
"I like the Le Mans circuit, so my confidence was high coming into this weekend, especially off the back of three good results at tracks that were either new or a little unkind to me in the past. I'm feeling good on the bike here; we've had a couple of small issues during practice, but nothing that we haven't been able to sort out quickly," said Redding.
"The lap times today came without really pushing hard, so I know there's more to come in qualifying if I need it. But this is Le Mans, so who knows what the weather will throw at us tomorrow. It could be dry or it could be wet, either way I think we're in a good way here with the bike and the setup."
