Misano

Dennis Foggia is in good momentum and he confirmed it during FP1 of Moto3 in Misano. The Leopard pilot won the exercise ahead of three other Italians who seem to benefit from the country's air.

Dennis Foggia (Leopard Racing), winner less than a week ago in Aragón, does not seem satisfied... Proof of this: the Italian dominated from the outset this first free practice session in Misano. The No. 7 could almost have climbed below the 1'42 mark, but he missed him by seven thousandths.

Behind him, we found three of his compatriots: Roman Fenati (Sterilgarda Max Racing Team), just under four tenths behind, Nicolò Antonelli (Avintia VR46 Academy) and Andrea Migno (Rivacold Snipers Team). Deniz Oncu (Red Bull KTM Tech3) was credited with the fifth fastest time.

Tatsuki suzuki (SIC58 Squadra Corse) and Izan Guevara (Gaviota GASGAS Aspar Team) finished in his wake. James Masia (Red Bull KTM Ajo), Xavier Artigas (Leopard Racing) and gabriel rodrigo (Indonesian Racing Gresini Moto3) completed the Top 10.

The leader in the Championship Peter Acosta (Red Bull KTM Ajo) concluded the session in 14th place. Our French Lorenzo Fellon (SIC58 Squadra Corse) inherited 20th place.

What will this FP2 have in store for us? Before knowing it, here is the table that refreshes the memory.

27.7° in the air and 35.9° on the dry track are the conditions offered to the protagonists for the 40 minutes of exercise who will therefore escape the rain.

From the outset, we understand that the pace will be faster than during the morning FP1 since the first reference is around 1'42.850 served by Darryn binder. Fenati, Oncu et Antonelli follow whileAcosta knocks on the door of the top 5.

Darryn binder falls at turn 16. He gets up but his bike stays there. This is a violent highside. When the last quarter of an hour has started, Foggia sets off to conquer the time again and signs a 1'42.508 which puts him in the lead.

As the last five minutes of profiling the guest Bertelle creates sensations under the VR46 colors by registering second in the session in 1'42.572, behind a Foggia untouchable who improved to 1'42.333. We learn that Binder went to the medical center after his antics.

Just before the checkered flag is presented the one informing of a shower is presented. So we leave it there with Foggia dominant this Friday in Misano in front Acosta, Antonelli, Fenati, Migno et Bertelle. McPhee, Binder, Salac et farmhouse close the top 10 Oncu. Nepa is in the top 14 and therefore last provisionally qualified in Q2. fellon is 22th.
