The last free practice session before qualifying confirmed the great form of Baldassari, well recovered from his injuries at the start of the season. Unfortunately, she also insisted on the difficulties of Johann Zarco who suffers as much as Alex Rins on a Jerez track which Sam Lowes copes with very well.
If the balance of power does not change, it is therefore a good deal in the race for the title that the Briton, second to the Italian despite a fall, can envisage. Morbidely et Folger follow and are also the drivers who crossed the barrier of 1'43 per lap this morning. It will be recalled that the new track record was taken yesterday morning by Nakagami in 1'42.642, that Jonas Folger then came close with his time of 1'42.667 while Baldassari just managed a 1'42.673.
Lüthi leads the rest of the peloton ahead of a Kent sunny days, Nakagami, Corsi, Cortese and Alex Márquez who complete the top 10. In the second part of the ranking, we note a Alex Rins eighteenth only preceding John Zarco suffering. The two men vying for the world crown are slower than their performances last year. There is therefore an urgent need to remedy the situation during the lunch break.
The first of the Tech3 machines is twenty-sixth with Virgin. Finally, the year was marked not only by the fall in Lowes but also the caper of Pasini. No problem for the pilots.
