MotoGP Grand Prix of Aragón Warm-up: Viñales, in the wet

At the end of a first session stunned by Marc Márquez, An second session dominated by Yamaha and a session for nothing, Marc Márquez showed in FP4 a pace deemed untenable by his opponents, even if Fabio Quartararo almost took pole position until the penultimate sector of his last qualifying lap.

Is the race written in advance? This is NEVER certain, even if the track wet by overnight rain will probably not bring much news during this 20-minute MotoGP warmup.

However, the good weather has returned, and the Aragón sun which now heats the air to 22° and the asphalt to 22° should gradually dry out the trajectories.

Here are the references available, at the time when the 22 drivers in the premier category (Pol Espargaró is out) are getting ready for this ultimate workout:

When the red lights go out, Jorge Lorenzo rushes first, as is often the case. Conversely, Fabio Quartararo, Andrea Dovizioso, Maverick Viñales, Andrea Iannone and Aleix Espargaró take all their time, facing the still very wet track…

All drivers are on rain tires:

Franco Morbidelli established the first reference in 2'03.169 at the end of the first flying lap.

Valentino Rossi, Danilo Petrucci and Alex Rins improved this time and the Suzuki driver set a 2'00.284 in his 5th flying lap.

A little after mid-session, Mika Kallio takes 2nd position.

The Finnish driver continued his effort and even took the lead in 2'00.014!

2 minutes from the checkered flag, the two official Yamahas are at the top of the ranking, Maverick Vinales achieving 1'59.524.

In extremis, Cal Crutchlow topped the session in 1'59.400 before leaving this honor to Maverick Vinales in 1'59.111.

After having only done one lap without a timer, Marc Marquez returns to the track to do a test start. Did you say serenity?

The race will take place at 13 hours !
