Aron Canet (Flexbox HP40) missed out on a first Moto2™ race win by less than half a lap when the field was last in action, at the Catalan Grand Prix, and has kicked off his German GP weekend in promising fashion by taking third in FP1 with a 1:24.709. Filip Salac (Gresini Racing Moto2™) finished fourth-quickest on a 1:24.782 and Albert Arenas, who had a spill as he tried to ride through the gravel at Turn 1, regrouped to clock a 1:24.842 which left him fifth all-told. Fellow GASGAS Aspar Team rider Jake Dixon was an early pace-setter before settling in ninth when the music stopped on a 1:25.099. The top two in the World Championship, Celestino Vietti (Mooney VR46 Racing Team) and Ai Ogura (Idemitsu Honda Team Asia), took 21st and 20th respectively, each at just under 1.8 seconds off the pace.
