Le Dutch MotoGP Grand Prix currently seems as unpredictable as the weather at the TT Circuit Assen!

However, over the course of the very different sessions which have so far constituted the weekend in the flat country, a few names have emerged from the successive rankings, such of course Jack Miller wet and dry, or Francis Bagnaia et fabio quartararo in the dry, to which must be added Aleix Espargaro, George Martin, John Zarcoalex rins, Marco Bezzecchi, Maverick Vinales and the two official KTM riders, Brad Binder et Miguel Oliveira, all appearing in another order on the first four rows of the starting grid.

This morning, the 20-minute warm-up still looks like the weekend, uncertain, with asphalt still containing areas of humidity due to the night's rain, and a heavy sky which is not there to provide the slightest certainty…

As the 24 pilots prepare, with a strong wind and temperatures of 18° in the air and 20° on the ground, let's take advantage of these few live moments thanks to the official website MotoGP.com :

When the red lights go out... Franco Morbidelli et Joan mir take the concert floor, while fabio quartararo continues the tradition of starting last.

In terms of tires, we find a little bit of everything, Stefan Bradl et Fabio DiGiannantonio even using rain tires, at least for the first lap.

At the end of the first round, Takaaki Nakagami registered the first reference in 1'34.683 then 1'33.737 on the next pass.

fabio quartararo then comes out a rather diabolical 1'33.666...

Fortunately, this does not last and Alex Espargaro imposes 132927 in front John Zarco et Luca Marini.

Midway through the session, fabio quartararo regains command in 1'32.784 ahead Luca marini, then entrusts it to Alex Espargaro in 1'32.697.

The classification then presents us Aleix Espargaro, Fabio Quartararo, Luca Marini, Enea Bastianini, Johann Zarco, Joan Mir, Jack Miller, Jorge Martin, Maverick Vinales, Alex Rins, Fabio Di Giannantonio, Francesco Bagnaia, Miguel Oliveira, Franco Morbidelli, Marco Bezzecchi, Takaaki Nakagami, Lorenzo Savadori, Brad Binder, Alex Marquez, Remy Gardner, Andrea Dovizioso, Raul Fernandez, Stefan Bradl and Darryn Binder.

Alex Espargaro improves in 1'32.424 and Maverick Vinales comes in second position, 2/10 behind his teammate.

Three minutes from the checkered flag, Fabio Quartararo inserts himself between the two Aprilias then curiously returns to his box. He will just leave for a test start.

In the end, the Aprilias show that, in the dry, they will be there, just as obviously fabio quartararo, while the other favorite, Francis Bagnaia, carried out a warm-up a little further back…
