On the very last useful lap, Marc Marquez è managed to snatch an excellent second place with 33 thousandths behind Binder. Third final time for the leader of the World Drivers’ Championship Martin who did not è seem perfectly comfortable on the track. Next was compatriot Acosta, author of another very special session. First of the Italians è was Bastianini (at 284 thousandths from Binder). To close the Top 10 Bezzecchi.

Pre qualifying complicated for Bagnaia who è appeared in difficulty on the dry lap (better in the race pace). The reigning World Champion closed with the seventh final time that he è however, earned him entry into Q2 which, in fact, was the’minimum goal.

To report a bad fall starring Bastianini halfway through the session. Fortunately, there were no consequences for the pilot who è recovered fully. Zarco è also ended up off the track.
