RESULTS AND FP3 RANKING

THE CHRONICLE OF FP3

10.47 Our live broadcast stops here for the moment, but we give you an appointment before 13.30 for FP4!

10.46 Appointment now set at 13.30 for the fourth free practice session and to follow for qualifying.

10.44 The Italians Bezzecchi (12th), Di Giannantonio (13th), Bastianini (18th), Dovizioso (19th) and Morbidelli (22nd) will have to pass from Q1. Out of the top 10 among the big Alex Rins, penalized by a post-crash wrist problem in Barcelona.

10.41 No one improves at the last attempt. Bagnaia thus closes the FP3 with the best time of 1’19 ″ 765 ahead of Aleix Espargarò and the Ducati of Miller, Zarco and Martin. In Q2 also Quartararo, Mir, Marini (thanks to yesterday’s weather), Nakagami and Vinales.

10.40 Nakagami also falls in turn 1. Last lap for everyone!

10.39 Aleix Espargarò brings Aprilia to second position, 64 thousandths from Bagnaia’s best time. Meanwhile, the fall of Alex Marquez, with yellow flags attached.

10.37 Ducati hat-trick !! Miller enters behind Bagnaia and ahead of Martin with a remarkable 1’19 ″ 873, but soon the response of all the others will arrive.

10.36 Enea Bastianini still out of the top 10, called to recover from 15th position in the last five minutes to enter Q2.

10.34 Great improvement by Joan Mir, who passes to fifth position at 333 thousandths from the top. Suzuki’s performance could be enough for Q2 …

10.32 The qualifying simulation begins: Bagnaia pulls down a few more cents and signs a fantastic 1’19 ″ 765 trimming 204 thousandths to Martin and 242 thousandths to Aleix Espargarò.

10.31 Quartararo strikes a shot and jumps to provisional third position in 1’20 ″ 038, but the response from Ducati arrives! One-two signed by Bagnaia and Martin, both under 1’20 “!

10.29 Aleix Espargarò improves further by a few thousandths but fails to break down the 1’20 wall. In the meantime, an excellent step forward for Oliveira, 6th with the KTM.

10.27 Super Aprilia !! Aleix Espargarò flies in 1’20 ″ 013 and gets ahead of everyone with the new track record! 8th Vinales in 1’20 ″ 3.

10.25 First time-attack of the session for Joan Mir, who files a few thousandths and regains the tenth position in the combined to the detriment of Oliveira. However, the Spaniard’s time is not yet enough to secure access to Q2.

10.23 Meanwhile Quartararo’s long-run continues, lapping in 1’21 ″ 2 with used hard-medium tires (almost 20 laps).

10.20 Nothing done for Vinales, who returned to the pits after two slow laps. The real rain of time-attacks by all the MotoGP riders should begin shortly.

10.19 Time-attack also for Oliveira (2nd last year in the German GP), who barely enters the top 10 of the combined with the KTM in 1’20 ″ 554. Joan Mir goes down to 11th place, out of Q2.

10.17 Vinales anticipates the times and mounts the new soft tire on the front for the first time-attack attempt 23 minutes from the end of the session.

10.14 Pending the time-attacks, below is the list of the top 10 in the combined: Bagnaia, Marini, Miller, A.Espargarò, Zarco, Martin, Quartararo, Vinales, Di Giannantonio and Mir (10th in 1’20 ″ 574 ). 13th Bastianini in 1’20 ″ 747.

10.12 At the moment the only ones able to improve this morning compared to yesterday were Miguel Oliveira (passed from 17th to 14th) and Andrea Dovizioso (stable in 23rd place).

10.10 From now on we will only refer to the combined classification of free practice, which will establish the 10 drivers automatically qualified in Q2.

10.08 Many drivers returned to the pits to conclude the first run of the day. There are just over 30 minutes left until the end of FP3.

10.07 Quartararo becomes the fifth man capable of shooting today under the 1’21 “wall, but yesterday’s times are still quite far away.

10.05 UPDATED RANKING OF FP3 TIMES:

10.04 Quartararo begins to pick up pace and climbs to fifth place in FP3 in 1’21 ″ 0, 341 thousandths from Bagnaia’s time.

10.03 Fall of Bezzecchi in turn 12! Too bad for the Mooney VR46 Team from Romagna, who still has the opportunity to return to the pits and restart with the second bike.

10.01 In the meantime Miller stopped immediately in the pits and returned to the track with a double medium tire. Oliveira is the first to lap today in 1’20 “, but shortly after Bagnaia takes the lead in the session in 1’20” 690.

9.59 Marini is the fastest in the first lap of the session in 1’21 ″ 619 ahead of Bagnaia, Morbidelli, Di Giannantonio and Bezzecchi. Obviously still quite slow times.

9.57 Immediately double soft rubber for Miller, while the majority of riders opt for a medium pair. There are also some hard tires on the front, mounted for example by the two Aprilia, Mir, Morbidelli and the official KTMs.

9.55 GREEN LIGHT!!! The 45 minutes of FP3 begin, with much higher temperatures (about 10 ° C) than yesterday morning.

9.53 Another two minutes of waiting and then it will be time to get on track also for the top class drivers at Sachsenring.

9.50 We remember the general classification of the 2022 MotoGP World Championship after nine races:

1. Fabio Quartararo (Yamaha) 147
2. Aleix Espargaro (Aprilia) 125
3. Enea Bastianini (Ducati) 94
4. Johann Zarco (Ducati) 91
5. Francesco Bagnaia (Ducati) 81
6. Brad Binder (KTM) 73
7. Alex Rins (Suzuki) 69
8. Joan Mir (Suzuki) 69
9. Jack Miller (Ducati) 65

9.47 Now here we are, at 9.55 the green light will turn on for the start of the last 45 minutes valid for direct qualification in Q2.

9.43 First part of the session which will be reserved as usual for long-runs, pending the real simulation of race pace scheduled later during FP4.

9.39 However, we also find Enea Bastianini in difficulty. The rider from Romagna is struggling to find the right place and being out of Q2 at the moment certainly doesn’t help.

9.35 Not an easy situation for Fabio Quartararo, only seventh at the end of day-1 with his Yamaha. The championship leader, especially in the simulations on race pace with hard tires, showed a pace that was not up to the speed of his fastest rivals and this could represent a significant handicap.

9.31 On the first day, a great performance by the Ducatis and Francesco Bagnaia. The Piedmontese seemed to have a great feeling with his GP22, easily finding the limit and impressing with the consistency of performance. The fact that three Reds finished in the first three positions highlights how the Borgo Panigale bike was unusually performing on this circuit.
