With a time of 1.22.643, the new limit of the circuit, Martin precedes the world leader Fabio Quartararo, 2nd at just 34 thousandths and very good at making the most of his Yamaha, and the Ducati of Francesco Bagnaia, third at 0 ”420 . In the second row two other Ducatis, with Johann Zarco (Pramac) 4th at 0 “477 and Jack Miller (factory team), 6th at 0” 677. In the middle of the Borgo Panicale ‘sandwich’, Marc Marquez is 5th at 0 “584 with the Honda Hrc.
