In a San Marino meeting hitherto dominated by a dominant Nakagami during the free practice sessions, it was a self-confident Johann Zarco who revealed himself during qualifying. This is the fourth peak position of the year for the Frenchman.
And the Ajo driver follows in the footsteps of his performance last year which was a succession of leading positions and victories. Incidentally, it is the eighth front row and thirteen Grands Prix that the reigning World Champion claims.
Nakagami follows while it is the local Baldassari which takes the last plot of the first line. Lowes snatches fourth position despite numerous mistakes during the exercise and leaves Morbidely close the top 5. Lüthi is sixth ahead Cortese and the challenger of zarco in the title race: alex rins. Pasini and Syahrin complete the top 10 missed by Folger eleventh.
