MotoGP Aragon FP4 LIVE: Miguel Oliveira the fastest, Fabio Quartararo the most consistent!

We were starting to get used to finding four Ducatis in the first five places, but this morning, during the third practice session of the 15th round of the MotoGP World Championship on the Motorland Aragon circuit, in Spain, the Borgo Panigale machines achieved a solid 5 out of 5, all in less than a tenth of a second, thus unfortunately confirming the pessimistic predictions of the championship leader, fabio quartararo (Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP).

Finally, Jack Miller, Francis Bagnaia, Marco Bezzecchi, Enea Bastianini, George Martin, Brad Binder, Miguel Oliveira, fabio quartararo, Takaaki Nakagami et alex rins therefore prequalified directly for Q2, unlikeAlex Espargaro, Marc Márquez, Johann zarco, Maverick Vinales and Joan mir, the latter being out for the rest of the weekend anyway following persistent pain.

Faced with this overwhelming offensive from the red armada, everyone will take advantage of this FP4 to work towards a 23-lap race where tire management will be crucial on the loose track of the Spanish circuit.

While waiting to discover more, as the 23 drivers prepare for this 30-minute free practice session in the dry, with a little wind and temperatures of 22° in the air and 37° on the ground under an immaculate sky, let's enjoy these few live moments thanks to the official website MotoGP.com :

When the red lights go out... Marco Bezzecchi hits the trail first, Franco Morbidelli waiting for once Fabio Quartararo. We remember that the leader of the world championship mentioned yesterday a possible two-way strategy for qualification...

In terms of tires, everyone chose the hard tire at the front and the medium at the rear, except Takaaki Nakagami who did the opposite and Pol Espargaro who leaves with a tender rear.

At the end of the first round, Fabio Quartararo turns out to be the fastest thousandths ahead Francis Bagnaia, in 1'48.680, and we notice that he carried in his wheel Franco Morbidelli which, as a result, is temporarily positioned fifth.

In the next passage, Miguel Oliveira registered 1'47.430 ahead Fabio Quartararo et Franco Morbidelli.

The Devil continues his effort and gets 15/100 closer to the KTM rider, before being pushed into third position by Marco Bezzecchi.

The Yamaha rider reacts by repeatedly lighting the first three sectors in red, but always stumbles a little on the fourth, his weak point on this circuit.

Meanwhile, Alex Espargaro moved up to sixth position in a hierarchy made up of Miguel Oliveira, Marco Bezzecchi, Fabio Quartararo, Francesco Bagnaia, Enea Bastianini, Aleix Espargaro, Alex Rins, Jorge Martin, Alex Márquez, Luca Marini, Franco Morbidelli, Jack Miller, Marc Márquez, Brad Binder, Maverick Vinales, Pol Espargaro, Johann Zarco , Fabio Di Giannantonio, Takaaki Nakagami, Raul Fernandez, Cal Crutchlow, Remy Gardner and Darryn Binder.

Unlike the majority of other drivers, fabio quartararo does not stop and continues to line up impressive first sectors…

Darryn binder makes a mistake at turn #2, followed a few seconds later by Marco Bezzecchi at the same location.

George Martin experiencing some technical issues...

From then on, the positions will no longer really change.
