October 23, 2021

For the Frenchman, who this Sunday will celebrate his first world champion crown, it will be the first time this season that he will be forced to face the first timed sieve. Fabio Quartararo finished 15th in the time table, almost nine tenths behind the fastest, Johann Zarco, who once again took advantage of the delicate conditions in which the training session was held, on a completely soaked track.

Pecco Bagnaia , meanwhile, was one tris (one tenth) away from getting into the top ten, although Luca Marini beat him to eleventh.

From above, Pramac took the first two places on the screens, with Jorge Martín less than a tenth behind Zarco. Behind the Spaniard finished Jack Miller, who completed the Ducati triplet, while the fourth fastest lap went to Miguel Oliveira.

Marc Márquez, fifth, emerged as the best classified among the Honda riders, just under half a second behind Zarco and less than a tenth ahead of Pol Espargaró (sixth), his neighbor in the Repsol Honda team workshop .

Franco Morbidelli’s discreet seventh place meant Yamaha’s best result in this practice, something that highlights the problems that the Iwata prototype offers when the asphalt is not completely dry.

Aleix Espargaró finished eighth, while Danilo Petrucci and Luca Marini closed the cut for those who will go directly to Q2.
