Moto2 Misano 2 FP3: New record for Enea Bastianini

Luca Marini is not giving up on a Misano route that he wants to make his own. It must be said that the moment is important: on the one hand, it must honor its position as leader of the championship and even strengthen it. Indeed, there is a lot of talk about him for a rise in MotoGP within an Avintia team that would receive the support of the VR46. He would therefore have a Ducati, alongside Enea Bastianini, who has a Ducati contract…

Precisely, it is bastianini which lost a little of its velocity during the last session on Friday. The protégé of Carlo Pernat is sixth, ahead of his compatriot Marco Bezzecchi of the famous Sky Racing Team VR46, who made a mistake in turn 6. The latter is in hot blood since he once again tickled the man who is theoretically his leader, Luca marini.

The other driver in sight in this Emilia Romagna Grand Prix is ​​the rookie Aron Canet who follows Marini, only 90 thousandths behind. The third man is Marcel Schrotter which regains color despite too many falls. Sam Lowes remains in ambush.
