Tito Rabat leads the way on opening day at Assen

Tito Rabat ended the opening day at Assen at the top of the timesheet, after posting his fastest time late in this afternoon’s second free practice session.

It was Rabat and Dominique Aegerter who made the early running, with the Moto2 World Championship leader losing time to the Swiss rider through the final sector on each lap.

Rabat managed to improve enough to claim the top spot as the session drew to a close, but he and his crew will be looking tonight for further improvements in the all-important final sector ready for tomorrow.

“Today has not quite hard, and the lap time didn’t come so easy. We need to do a lot of work, especially in the final sector where I’m losing a little bit of time at the moment. We need to find some improvements, like always, but I think it’s going to be a very hard weekend.”
