20° in the air and seven degrees warmer for the track, the conditions were ideal for warming up the Moto2 riders before heading into the Italian Grand Prix scheduled for shortly after noon. Yesterday, Saturday, it was Morbidelli who amazed the gallery to the detriment of his teammate Alex Márquez. Was this sixth meeting of the calendar going to turn into a duel within the Marc VDS Racing team?

Given the course of events so far, this was the least risky prognosis to make:

The first sensation of this Sunday morning was the announcement of the package of Xavier Vierge who had not received clearance from the doctors following the medical examination undergone after his fall during qualifying. The Tech3 driver was assessed with a chest trauma that was not expected to be tested for the upcoming race.

The first reference was not the prerogative of one of Michaël Bartholémy's pilots but of Nakagami in 1'52.237. The Japanese was followed by a Pasini equally in good shape and the Marc VDS duo. A hierarchy thatAlex Marquez took care of putting things back in order with a 1'52.115.

A time which will be enough to complete the exercise. The brother of whom you know is ahead Nakagami et Morbidely in the same way Pasini. Olive tree shows his KTM in the top 5 in front of the Suter of Cortese et Lüthi settles for seventh place. NAVARRO follows as best beginner whileHernandez et Isaac Viñales close the top 10 Courses. The first and therefore only Tech3 is thirteenth with Gardner. Quarterly twentieth.
