San Marino Misano Moto3 Warm Up Grand Prix: Canet at the party.

It's a sunny Sunday ahead on a route of Misano who will play a San Marino Grand Prix which is the thirteenth round of the MotoGP championship. But this will be the twelfth race contested since the Silverstone race was canceled. George Martin is once again in command of the starting line, for the eighth time this year, or 7+1 if we count the crossed out English round. His championship rival Bezzecchi is sixth. Will the Italian be able, with his KTM, to close this gap on the leading Honda?

Before launching into hostilities, here is a reminder of the chronometric facts with our table:

Misano Moto3™	2017	2018
FP1	1'46.518 Aron Canet	1'43.526 Jakub Kornfeil
FP2	1'42.620 Fabio Di Giannantonio	1'42.324 Jorge Martin
FP3	1'42.413 Aron Canet	1'51.364 Nicolo Bulega
Qualification	1'42.147 Enea Bastianini	1'41.823 Jorge Martin
Warm Up	1'58.672 Romano Fenati
Course	Fenati, Mir, Di Giannantonio
All time lap record	1'41.823 Jorge Martin 2018

We learn that the German Oettl will not enjoy the 22° in the air and the 19° on the track. After his heavy fall during qualifying, he was declared unfit to continue the adventure. We will remember that he will be alongside Bezzecchi in Moto2 next year in the new Tech3 KTM team.

 

 

A duel is announced but the referees will be legion. Rodrigo achieved his best performance at the end of qualifying with his second place, and Di Giannantonio is just as much at home as the former winner on this track bastianini. As for Canet, we know his motivation. All these madmen are found between Martin et Bezzecchi !

Canet achieves the first reference in 1'44.273. bastianini then does 93 thousandths better. But Bezzecchi passes below the mark of 1'44 and 1'43.994, just ahead George Martin. Canet reacts in 1'43.205 ahead of the two Leopard drivers Dallas Port et bastianini. No doubt, the debates are on!

Bezzecchi regains the initiative in 1'42.978 and is still ahead George Martin. The Italian is the only one under the 1'43 mark. Open up, Arbolino et farmhouse push the Leopard duo to the bottom of the top 10. one of the two, in this case bastianini, reacted in 1'42.839, which is the fastest lap.

Bezzecchi don't let it count and lower the reference time by a tenth. A message received by Canet which offers a 1'42.516 to beat. And who will not be beaten despite Bezzecchi at 19 thousandths! bastianini, Martin et Rodrigo close the top 5.
