The last free practice session was used by the MotoGP riders to finally find the tires that will best serve their ambitions for tomorrow's race. A difficult choice. Meanwhile, Marc Márquez dominates.

The championship leader has recovered well from the emotions of a FP3 marked by numerous falls. Including his own which would have been caused by the surprise of seeing yellow flags raised for the fall of Nicky Hayden and at the moment when the Honda official overtook Pol Espargaro. Wanting to change his mind, he braked too hard, losing control of his RC213V to better train the Tech3 driver.
He will go and explain it to the race management later for a hearing. In the meantime, it was he who achieved the best time just before going to play his qualification. And this despite a dislocated shoulder since the morning incident. He dominates Valentino Rossi et Aleix Espargaro while Pedrosa et Crutchlow close the top 5.
On the back of @marcmarquez93's machine as he heads the times.

Casa Particular in Viñales leads the rest of the peloton ahead Dovizioso et Pol Espargaro. Jorge Lorenzo is only ninth and never tires of worrying while Yonny Hernandez completes the top 10 after learning that his handlebars were threatened by Karel Abraham. His teammate Laverty already assured of his 2017 Superbike program with Aprilia has fallen. Loris Baz is last sinceAlex Lowes will no longer ride today, recovering from his antics in FP3.
And 11th at the time of the checkered flag too!
