MarcVDS Moto2 front-runner Scott Redding has broken the lap record at Valencia on day two of the IRTA tests, lapping in 1'35.9s on what was still quite a cold day to top the timesheets once again.
The Gloucestershire teenager was nine-tenths quicker than the time he posted yesterday and half a second quicker than the fastest lap set by Toni Elias in 2012. Andrea Iannone on the Speed Master bike was second, two tenths behind the Briton with Claudio Corti's Italtrans Kalex in third.
Tech3's Bradley Smith improved his position to sixth with a 1'36.5 and was just behind Thomas Luthi and Simone Corsi. Gino Rea put his Gresini Moriwaki in 17th, two seconds off the pace.
