At the heart of a lively debate about the decision, which he contested, of a safety commission which changed the configuration of the Montmélo route, following the dramatic accident of Luis Salom, Valentino Rossi responded present on the track. This after having been conspicuous by his absence during this famous security commission. The Doctor seems to want to give change this afternoon, in the race, on a Yamaha that may have been found.
Perhaps because the milder temperatures at the end of the morning made it possible to use front mediums which raise questions about the duration of this Catalan Grand Prix. The tough will then be obligatory, and this is how the M1 surrenders against the Honda. This one is second with the essential Marc Márquez. Ducati is in the top three with Iannone while Lorenzo follows his future red motorcycle at 2 thousandths.
Pol Espargaro closes the top 5 to his brother Aleix while those absent at the top of the ranking are called Dovizioso eleventh, Casa Particular in Viñales twelfth and above Pedrosa transparent twentieth, but without being worried. Who hid their game this morning? Answer this afternoon!
