At the Mobility Resort Motegi (Twin Ring Motegi), Colombian sensation David Alonso smashed the all-time Moto2 lap record during Friday practice, stopping the clock at a blistering 1:48.963. Motegi is renowned as one of Grand Prix racing's purest stop-and-go circuits, putting supreme demands on front-end braking stability entering the Turn 1-2 chicane, the V-Corner (Turn 5), and the signature 90-degree corner (Turn 11) after the downhill back straight where bikes brake from 270+ km/h down to 75 km/h in under 4 seconds.

The top four riders—Alonso, Manuel Gonzalez (+0.038s), Diogo Moreira (+0.071s), and Aron Canet (+0.093s)—were blanketed by less than a tenth of a second (93 milliseconds). This tool allows racing engineers, analysts, and fans to inspect the micro-sector speed traces, apex speed differentials, and simulate what-if adjustments to see where tenths are won or conceded.
