The first salvo of qualifying delivered its verdict and allowed Aleix Espargaró and Danilo Petrucci to reach the final which will determine pole position. A great performance, in particular, for the Italian from Pramac who returns to the competition.
This with a hand which still hurts him and which works thanks to around twenty screws. This says a lot about Danilo's self-sacrifice while the first to be eliminated from this draft is Hector Barbera.
A frustration that will be shared in the Avintia box since Loris Baz tomb of Charybdis in Scylla. After two falls since the start of the meeting, he will now start from last place for his national race tomorrow.
