The Moto2 and Moto3 classes will switch to the same practice format as MotoGP from 2025, the Gr෴and Prix 🐓Commission has announced.

Since July last year, only lap times set in the Friday afternoon practice session have been used to decide direct access to MotoGP’s Qualifying 2, with thಞe Friday and Saturday morning sessions both classed as Free Practice.

However, Moto2 and Moto3 have continued with only one Free P🐬ractice session, on Friday morning, after which the Friday afternoon and Saturday morning sessions both ღcount towards direct Q2 access.

For Moto2 an🌺d Moto3, a direcꦇt place in Q2 is awarded to those in the top 14 after ‘Practice 2’ on Saturday morning. The final four places are then fought over in Qualifying 1.

But from next season the junior classes will follow the same for🧔mat (and session names) as MotoGP: FP1 and Practice on Friday. Then FP2, Q1 and Q2 on Saturday.

Th🐬e change will ‘estab൲lish consistency across the classes’.

MotoGP gives only the top ten riders on Friday afternoon a place in Q2, with the last two entries in the pole position shootout awa💟rded to the two fastest rid🗹ers in Qualifying 1.
