It is once again Italy which is hosting the Moto2 World Championship on the Misano track. In a few laps, we will know the name of the Poleman for tomorrow's race. Enea Bastianini is on the rise, as is Luca Marini who is currently standing out in the championship standings. We will also have to count on Sam Lowes, the revenger of Misano 1 as well as on Marco Bezzecchi, the teammate of Rossi's half-brother who does not intend to let Marini seize the world crown without blocking him. Before all that, it is time to move on to the essential Q1 session where four drivers will be drafted and will join their fourteen other colleagues already qualified for Q2, to try to get pole position.
For the moment, a reminder of the facts...
