Jerez.- Pecco Bagnaia has left behind the doubts that have haunted him with the new bike during the start of the season to once again be the very fast rider who dominated the final part of last season and, in fact, as he himself confessed, It has been thanks to going back to the set-up of last year’s bike, which has once again given him the confidence to close, for example, the fastest lap of the weekend so far at the Spanish Grand Prix .
However, and despite the fact that he ‘only’ could have been second, Fabio Quartararo was again very strong, finishing second at 67 thousandths and remains the great favorite for victory, with the inertia of the brilliant victory a week ago in Portimao . Takaaki Nakagami, with the Honda LCR, finished third, just ahead of a Marc Márquez who was looking for Jack Miller’s wheel to be able to save the Q2 cut and finish fourth, thanking the Australian for taxiing on the same track.
Fifth was Maverick Viñales, ahead of Enea Bastianini and the other Aprilia, Aleix Espargaró’s. Joan Mir, who finished outside the top ten on Friday, managed to enter the short session closing the morning in eighth place, ahead of Jorge Martín, who was saved at the last minute, and Miller, who closed the top 10 and the list of drivers who They will go directly to Q2 in the fight for pole.
Important drivers were left out, such as Johann Zarco (12) poleman in Portimao, Alex Rins (13), second in the World Championship and who for the third time this year has to go through Q1, Brad Binder, Franco Morbidelli, Miguel Oliveira or Pol Espargaró , who finished 17th and crashed in the last corner of his last lap, failing to improve his time.
