It was Marc Marquez who set the best time in the pre-qualifying session of the San Marino and Rimini Riviera Grand Prix. The Spaniard of the official Ducati dominating the category lapped in 1’30″480 and lined up three Italians and his younger brother Alex.

Second is in fact Marco Bezzecchi, with the official Aprilia, detached by 147 thousandths, third at 193 Franco Morbidelli with the Ducati Pertamina Enduro VR 46, fourth at 230 Pecco Bagnaia, Marc’s teammate, author finally of a good practice session, fifth Alex with the Ducati Gresini at 272 thousandths.

In the top ten who directly access tomorrow’s Q2 are also: sixth and seventh the Honda Castrol pairing, Spaniard Joan Mir and Luca Marini, eighth Spaniard Jorge Martin with the second Aprilia, ninth Spaniard Pedro Acosta with the best of the KTMs, tenth Fabio Di Giannantonio with the second Ducati VR46.

Of those who will have to take to the track in Q1 those immediately outside the top ten are Frenchman Johann Zarco (Honda) and his compatriot Fabio Quartararo (Yamaha). Badly all the KTMs, which had instead been the surprise a week ago at Montmeló.
