MotoGP Catalonia Barcelona J2: what time are qualifying this Saturday?

Johann Zarco will open the Catalan Grand Prix this Saturday as leader of the MotoGP troops. The Frenchman, who has just renewed his lease with Ducati and Pramac for an additional year, actually set the best time in the second free practice session of this seventh meeting of the season. Which remains under the threat of a possible onset of rain...

It will be recalled that the French double World Champion Moto2 owes his position to a time of 1'39.235 which stole the show from Franco Morbidelli (Yamaha Petronas) just under the checkered flag, for only 21 thousandths. The third is none other than his compatriot Fabio Quartararo on his official Yamaha. The Mugello winner is 0,166s from the top and ahead of the South African KTM Brad Binder, freshly renewed with the Austrian manufacturer, and the Ducati of Francis Bagnaia.

Sixth beat for Maverick Casa Particular in Viñales, who places his Yamaha Factory in front of the Ducati factory Jack Miller. Great eighth time for Enea Bastianini. The Ducati Avintia rookie was the author of a good lap, finishing in 1'39.977, which allowed him to provisionally position himself in Q2, ahead of the brothers I will spread, with Aleix (Aprilia) ahead of Pol (Honda).

Danilo Petrucci (KTM Tech 3) closed the session with the 12th time, ahead of the rookie and compatriot Luca marini (Ducati Avintia Sky VR46), while Marc Marquez is 15th, just ahead of the only Suzuki on the track, that of his compatriot and reigning Champion Joan mir.

Valentino Rossi penalty. He is only 19th, 1.601s behind the leader. The “Doctor” is behind Alex Marquez (Honda LCR) and above Lorenzo Savadori (Aprilia) and a George Martin (Ducati Pramac) back from eight fractures.

The rest of the events promise to be as exciting as they are uncertain. All the more reason not to miss anything. So here is the program for the day…
