MotoGp, Aragon tests: Viñales scorches Bezzecchi and Marc Marquez, back Bagnaia

After the race weekend, the protagonists of the MotoGp season met again on Monday at the MotorLand Aragon circuit for a day of testing: the long timed session rewarded Maverick Viñales, who riding his Red Bull Tech3 team KTM set a best time of 1:45.694, just 6 thousandths ahead of Marco Bezzecchi, on factory Aprilia.

In third position the weekend’s dominator Marc Marquez, who on his factory Ducati did not go beyond a best time 132 thousandths behind his compatriot. Fermin Aldeguer of Team Gresini Racing (+0.264) and Pedro Acosta on KTM Factory (+0.335) close the Top 5. Sixth, and second among Italian riders, is Franco Morbidelli on a Ducati of the Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team (+0.625).

Also among the top ten were Fabio Quartararo, seventh on a factory Yamaha (+0.733) and Fabio Di Giannantonio, eighth on his Desmosedici GP-25 from the team founded by Valentino Rossi (+0.818). Ninth position, however, for Pecco Bagnaia: for Marc Marquez’s teammate a best time 835 thousandths slower than the session leader.

Two other Italians on the track: Enea Bastianini, Maverick Viñales’ teammate, still confirms some difficulties riding the KTM and closes with a gap of one second and 411 thousandths, while Lorenzo Savadori, who continues his work as a replacement for Jorge Martin on the Aprilia, got the 18th time, with a delay of 2.086 compared to Viñales.
