Moto2 Indianapolis, Qualifying: Marquez mocks Corsi

Marc Marquez mocked Simone Corsi right under the checkered flag in the Moto2 qualifying of the Red Bull Indianapolis GP. The Ioda Racing driver was "fooled" by just one thousandth of a second by the 2010 world champion in the eighth-litre race. It's a shame for the Roman driver who will still be able to take part in a leading race tomorrow. Third was another Italian, Andrea Iannone riding the Suter of Team Speed ​​Master. The Abruzzo native is 120 thousandths behind Marquez in what promises to be a hard-fought race.

Bradley Smith also did well aboard the Tech3. The fourth-placed Brit lapped in 1'44"344, putting behind a positive Thomas Luthi with the Suter of Team Interwetten and Mattia Pasini with the second FTR of Ioda Racing. The former 250 rider precedes the Spaniard Pol Espargarò, the Swiss Dominique Aegerter, the Spaniard Esteve Rabat and the San Marino Alex De Angelis, recovering after yesterday's bad day.

The Team JiR rider is "only" 826 thousandths behind Marquez and together with Scott Redding (the fastest in FP3) he is the last rider under one second behind. Cluzel, who is twelfth, is in fact at 1"005 followed by Michele Pirro (Moriwaki of Team Gresini) and Richy Cardus, fourteenth on the Moriwaki of QMMF Racing Team.

Julian Simon, Team Aspar driver, was only fifteenth. The Spaniard precedes the German ex superbike Max Neukirchner, his compatriot Aleix Espargarò and the Finn Mika Kallio. Raffaele de Rosa follows on the Tean NGM Forward Racing Suter. Further back Claudio Corti (Suter of Team Italtrans) and Alex Baldolini (Pons Kalex) in 26th and 32nd position respectively.
