Japanese Moto2, Motegi - Qualifying

All free practice sessions were cancelled due to visibility problems grounding the medial helicopters and the extended qualifying session (55 minutes) was thus the first Moto2 track action of the weekend.

A 40-minute free practice session will now be held on Sunday morning, in place of the warm-up, followed by the race.

Qualifying was held on a drying track, with sun shining for the first time this weekend.

Title contender Scott Redding is making his return from a fractured radius bone, which required surgery, last weekend in Australia...
