Mean radial (left), azimuthal (middle), and vertical (right) Galactocentric velocities of the FLAMES/GIRAFFE stars in the Gaia-ESO internal Data Release 2 (iDR2) as a function of their position in the Galaxy (in a cylindrical reference frame). For each panel, only the stars having errors less than 65 km s-1 in that particular component of space velocity are selected. This results in 3162, 3667, 3243 targets, for VR, Vφ, and VZ, respectively. Mean values have been computed in bins of 0.4 kpc size, provided each position-bin contained at least 15 stars, resulting in an error in the mean velocity of 5 km s-1 per bin.
