alex rins fell during FP4, putting himself under entry pressure. 16° in the air and 24° on the track under a radiant but low-calorie sun are the conditions offered to pilots for the exercise.

The first reference of his ten minute cleaver goes back to Joan mir in 1'33.269, it is followed by Alex Marquez.

The same Alex Marquez slams a 1'32.774 ahead of Bagnaia and Petrucci. Then Nakagami puts the reference at 1'32.747. For the moment, there are two Honda who go up to Q2. There are eight minutes left.

The Ducati do not understand it that way and take these two famous first positions with bagnaia in 1'32.512 which is ahead Petrucci. That's it for the first salvo. The second will begin once the drivers have fitted fresh tires. This is the last chance for Mir, only fifth while for Kidneys it's worse: he's tenth.

In 1'31.952, Danilo Petrucci makes the powder speak. Mir follows by more than four tenths. The pack is after him. bagnaia pushes him back to third. Brad Binder fall. Under the checkered flag, Petrucci pass with bagnaia. Nakagami follows and Mir will have to start 14th. His teammate is 16th. It’s a disappointment in the Suzuki clan…
