Rabat heads to Le Mans one point ahead of Moto2 rival Scott Redding

This will be another big weekend for Moto2 rider Esteve Rabat (Tuenti HP 40 Pons Kalex) who leads a World Championship for the first time after winning the first Grand Prix of his career at Jerez. The popular Spaniard, who made his World Championship debut way back in 2005, comes to Le Mans just one point ahead of Moto2 rival Scott Redding (Marc VDS Racing Team Kalex) who finished second at Jerez.

Tuenti HP 40 Pons rider Esteve Rabat says:

“I’m not sure what to expect at the moment because this is the first time I go to a race leading a World Championship. Le Mans is a very difficult circuit, with a lot of heavy braking, and the weather can be difficult. I’d like to say I am confident, but in Moto2 you always need to keep working.”
