Ducati still had a strong presence near the top of the timesheet, however. Mooney VR46 Racing Team’s Marco Bezzecchi, who has qualified in the middle of the front row, was third-quickest on a 1:47.223, ahead of Prima Pramac Racing’s Johann Zarco on a 1:47.246. Japan was represented, in terms of bike and rider, by LCR Honda Idemitsu’s Takaaki Nakagami in fifth on a 1:47.414 while the Ducati Lenovo Team’s Francesco Bagnaia clocked a 1:47.460 to claim sixth for the Warm Up, and pole-sitter Fabio Di Giannantonio (Gresini Racing MotoGP™) was 14th on a 1:47.749. The track was damp in patches due to overnight rain, but the session ran without incident.
