Very bitter Friday for Marc Marquez: fallen, the Honda centaur was left out of the 10 and will have to participate in Q1 on Saturday. Also in Q1 were Morbidelli, Mir, Rins, Alex Marquez.
A particularly tormented second free session, stopped immediately for a few minutes due to a blackout in the Race Direction office, and then for about twenty minutes after the bad accident happened to Pol Espargarò, who was transported to the hospital for checks.
