The light shower that fell this morning is only a distant memory and even if the second bikes of the MotoGP riders are lined up in the pit lane without a rear wheel, no one expects the slightest drop of water during this session .
Of water, perhaps, but of oil, yes, since Yonny Hernandez visibly loses a few drops after a few moments in the session.
This did not prevent the two official Yamahas from taking command midway through the session, Lorenzo preceding then Red by about a tenth. It is at this moment that Marc Marquez initially leads, with an advantage of 2 tenths, before falling without gravity at turn #1.
Five minutes from the checkered flag, we have Marquez in the lead but in the pits, Rossi 2 tenths behind, Vinales et Paul Espargaro in a pocket handkerchief.
Dovizioso launches his offensive 2 minutes before the end of the session, and places himself 3e, between the two Yamaha factory.
