Red Bull KTM Ajo locked out the Moto2 standings on Friday after torrential rain hit the Sepang International Circuit. Moto2 Championship challenger Augusto Fernandez held court after topping the FP1 times by almost second before suffering a turn 15 slide as the chequered flag prepared.

His 2’06.816 remaining undisputed from teammate Pedro Acosta and Elf Marc VDS’ Tony Arbolino with his main title rival Ai Ogura bringing up fourth on the Idemitsu Honda.

Morning drama saw Flexbox HP40’s Aron Canet collect RW Racing’s Barry Baltus after a turn 15 manoeuvre gone wrong with the pair down controversially again just under waved yellows as the Belgium teenager was stretched off track.

Baltus later confirming a broken left heel with his weekend ended prematurely. The team fully out of luck following an earlier crash and retirement for Zonta van den Goorberg on the Dutchman’s out lap.
