MotoGP: Bezzecchi fastest in pre-qualifying in Australia, Bagnaia ninth

Brilla l’azure Bezzecchi in pre-qualifying for the GP d’Australia. The Aprilia rider set the fastest time on track (1’26″492″), also setting the overall track record at Phillip Island. A monster performance that makes him increasingly the number one favorite for the Australian weekend.

He does not find the feeling with his Ducati the increasingly frustrated Bagnaia (session heavily conditioned by the wind). L’azzurro struggles throughout pre-qualifying. They are in the final minutes, he avoids the’elimination from Q2. The two-time World Champion finished with the ninth final time and several problems to be solved quickly.

In addition to the excellent Bezzecchi who makes the Aprilia fly, Fernandez, also on an Aprilia, Di Giannantonio, on a Ducati, Quartararo (Yamaha), Alex Marquez (Gresini Ducati), Rins (Yamaha), Marini (Honda), Bagnaia (Ducati) and Acosta (KTM) also qualify for Q2. It should be noted that, in Phillip Island, the reigning World Champion Marc Marquez is not present, back in the pits after’shoulder surgery and replaced on the track by Pirro.

Aldeguer (Gresini Ducati), Binder (Ktm), Miller (Pramac Yamaha), Mir (Honda), Zarco (Lcr Honda), Oliveira (Pramac Yamaha), Morbidelli (VR46 Ducati), Ogura (Trackhouse Aprilia), Savadori (Aprilia), Bastianini (Tech3 Ktm), Pirro (Ducati), Chantra (Lcr Honda) will have to go through Q1.
