MotoGP LIVE Spain Warm Up: In the end, Johann Zarco precedes Maverick Vinales and Fabio Quartararo!

Article updated continuously until the end of the session.

Even if Fabio Quartararo dominates for the moment this weekend of the Spanish Grand Prix in Jerez, having obtained yesterday his 12th pole position and his 4th in a row on the Andalusian track, nothing is written in advance in competition.

And this is all the more true as with 10 riders in less than 4 tenths, the smallest detail will be of capital importance this afternoon, particularly at the start which we generally know is difficult for the Yamahas against the Ducati. However, precisely this afternoon at 14 p.m., two Yamahas will start in front of three Ducatis and a Honda...

In these conditions, even if it does not take place at the same time as the race, this 20-minute warm-up is important, if only to do one or two starting attempts!

With beautiful clear skies and temperatures of ° in the air and ° on the asphalt, the track conditions are excellent to finalize the preparation in Andalusia.

Let's enjoy these few minutes of live footage while the drivers prepare, thanks to the official website MotoGP.com:

When the red lights go out... once is not usual, Jack Miller rushes first while conversely fabio quartararo sticks to his habit of hitting the track last.

A priori, the soft rear tire is too soft to race but it is nevertheless used this morning by Aleix Espargaro, Valentino Rossi and Tito Rabat.

fabio quartararo is the fastest at the end of the first flying lap, in 1'39.438 before registering 1'38.612 on the next pass.

One more loop and The Devil leads in 1'37.975, 8 thousandths ahead of his teammate Maverick Vinales, Brad Binder, Alex Marquez, Johann Zarco and Marc Marquez.

Espargaro Pol fall at high speed at turn 10 when Johann zarco takes second position behind Fabio Quartararo now in 1'37.657.

Curiously, given that it is a higher time than that of fabio quartararo, John Zarco is credited with the best time in 1'37.688….

Now it's the turn of Iker Lecuona to fall without gravity at turn #13, then from Takaaki Nakagami at turn #2.

The series continues with the fall of Marc Marquez at turn #4, fortunately without any seriousness.

At the last minute, Maverick Vinales takes the lead in 1'37.642 ahead of the two French drivers.

Update: Unfortunately for him, and fortunately for French enthusiasts, his time seems to have been canceled a few minutes after the end of the session, perhaps for having driven in the green or, more probably for having been carried out under the yellow flags of the fall of Marc Márquez.

The Yamaha official therefore drops back to second position, inserted in the middle of the French duo.
