Looking at the spec sheet, it's interesting this record came on a CFMoto-supplied chassis. Holgado beating his own teammate's previous record time says a lot about how much the package has matured. That's exactly the kind of detail that gets me hooked.

Plenty of riders have clawed back from Q1 before, though.

Beating the previous record-holder's time shows real team strength.

Weird that Alonso's already locked into MotoGP but off form here.
