Fabio Quartararo is the fastest in FP3 Catalunya MotoGP, Valentino Rossi is still safe
–
GridOto.com – Petronas Yamaha team racer, Fabio Quartararo, managed to score the fastest time on the FP3 session MotoGP Catalunya 2020.
The temperature in the FP3 session was quite cold, where the track was 13 degrees Celsius while the track was 21 degrees Celsius.
Even though last year when it was held in the middle of the year, the temperature was 24 degrees Celsius and the track was 34 degrees Celsius in the FP3 session.
That’s why this is a big concern for the racers who will push the lap time because the track is tricky, the character is different from last year.
With a temperature like this, the tire grip is not too optimal and the front tire is prone to losing grip when cornering, making the chance of a crash quite large.
Soft tires are the main choice of many riders in this session to catch up with the top 10 drivers who automatically enter Q2.
There were several crashes, one of which was Cal Crutchlow, who actually forced him to appear with an injured ankle, and was immediately taken to the medical center for treatment.
Even though it was difficult, slowly the racers started to appear insistent and scored good times.
The struggle for the top spot in the last 5 minutes was quite tight until finally Fabio Quartararo managed to score the fastest time in this session, beating Maverick Vinales.
