2012 Silverstone Moto2 FP1 Result: Espargaro Leads From Smith

With the sun out at Silverstone, though not for long enough to dry out the track, leaving the Moto2 class to lap on a wet track with occasional drying patches. At the end of the 45 minute session, it was Pol Espargaro who topped the timesheets, setting the fastest time despite still having some pain in his ankle after his crash with Marc Marquez at Barcelona. After leading for much of the session, Bradley Smith ended up in 2nd, ahead of Ricky Cardus, his best result on the AJR in Moto2.

If it dries

Then Marc Cheatez can make use of his most obviously more powerful engine.
