Despite the wind still present, the conditions are quite good on the Losail circuit, and the talents in the Moto3 category will be able to calmly take their final bearings for 20 minutes before this evening's race.
The first surprise comes from Fabio Quartararo who is still not in leather 3 minutes from the start of this Warm Up; will he participate in the session?
We remember that the Leopard drivers abstained during the first sessions of the IRTA tests, judging the track too hot compared to what it will be during the race...
And, indeed, with a track that is still too hot, we are not taking part in the start of testing at Leopard, just like at Sky VR46.
Niccolo Antonelli, who fell a lot this weekend, and Livio Loi, took command, in 2'07.3, while we remember the best time of the qualification; 2'06.131.
Stefano Valtulini, the Rookie of “3570 Team Italia”, makes a mistake at turn #2.
At mid-session, the two drivers of the Red Bull Ktm Ajo team, sanctioned yesterday, were 2nd and 4th. If Bo Bendsneyder still has everything to prove, Brad Binder will be a very serious competitor for the race.
5 minutes before the checkered flag, the Leopard drivers put on their helmets, while Romano Fenati, the pole sitter, seems to wait until the last minute to do the same. He ultimately did not record any time.
Rookie Khairul IdhamPawi bravely climbs into 4th provisional position.
Niccolo Antonelli is the only one to go below 2.07 and this session without any real meaning ends in Qatari torpor.
