The lanterns of Mugello, which hosted the Italian Grand Prix last weekend, have barely warmed up before those of Catalonia are already lit. It is in fact towards Barcelona that the MotoGP planet will turn its gaze for the ninth round of a season which lost one of its rounds with the new postponement from Finland. After this stage in the Iberian Peninsula, there will still be 11 rounds of a championship still led by the holder of the crown, Fabio Quartararo...
Last year, in Catalonia, the official Yamaha held his stuff well before his combination surprisingly opened, disrupting the Frenchman who then took penalties. An adventure for the one who magnificently exploited all the weapons in his possession during the last battle to date in Mugello will be keen not to relive…
He is, incidentally, the record holder for the lap of the Montmeló track in 1'38.853, a performance which gave him pole position in 2021. For the fastest course in the race with a MotoGP, you have to ask your compatriot Johann zarco in 1'39.939. He finished second in Miguel Oliveira the last Grand Prix contested on these lands, ahead Jack Miller.
Two Catalans want to do well in Catalonia and they are with Aprilia
Our two French people will therefore still be there on this 4,7 km route, with 14 turns, 6 of which are taken on the left and 8 on the right. The straight line is 1m. It had been swallowed last year by Jack Miller at 355.5 km/h. Catalonia is the region of Maverick Vinales and brothers I will espargaro and it will therefore be necessary to monitor the Aprilia in particular. Marc Marquez is also a native of the country, but we know that he unfortunately has other worries at the moment... Here is the program for this weekend for which there is currently no rain forecast...
