MotoGP LIVE Misano1 Warmup: Takaaki Nakagami restores Honda's honor!

With a top 10 made up of four Yamahas in the first four places, but also four Ducatis and two Suzukis, the big losers in qualifying are Honda and KTM despite a good performance from the Austrian machines on Friday afternoon.

Within the Iwata clan, Maverick Vinales hit hard yesterday in Q2, relegating the rest of his colleagues to more than 3 tenths to take the circuit record.

This 20-minute warmup will therefore be the last opportunity for everyone to fine-tune small details in order to try to undermine this hierarchy during the race...

The Misano sun is there, generating 25° and 22° on the ground, which is not the case in Cal Crutchlow, forced to watch the session as a spectator since declared unfit due to the consequences of his compartment syndrome operation.

Conversely, we cannot fail to notice Claudio Domenicali, the boss of Ducati, in the box of John Zarco...

When the red lights go out... Miguel Oliveira takes the lead ahead Franco Morbidelli, while conversely fabio quartararo let everyone go.

The tires chosen this morning…

fabio quartararo thus the first reference in 1'34.578 before improving it to 1'33.625 on the next pass. The Frenchman had to deal with more opposition yesterday than he thought...

It seems to be moving towards a medium rear tire while Maverick Vinales, his main opponent, chose the tough one.

Pol Espargaro took command after eight minutes, in 1'33.225, but The Devil is the first to break the 1'33 mark, in 1'32.965.

Johann zarco stands out by appearing in the top 3 at the time when ÁLex Rins takes the lead in 1'32.924. The latter precedes Francis Bagnaia of 6/1000.

Quartararo/Viñales, Zarco/Bagnaia, here are some duels that promise to be interesting this afternoon…

Franco Morbidelli, who admitted yesterday to having received the holeshot device on his M1, set the best time six minutes from the checkered flag: 1'32.852.

At this moment, if Andrea Dovizioso appears well in the top 10, this is not the case for Danilo Petrucci, last, at a second and a half…

Takaaki Nakagami restores Honda's honor by placing its RC 213 V in second position: Yesterday, the Tokyo firm achieved its worst performance in qualifying since 1982!

fabio quartararo goes out without gravity in the gravel trap, apparently following a problem with his left side (glove?).

Danilo Petrucci, returned to the box mid-session, did not come out.

Finally, Takaaki Nakagami took pole in 1'32.781 on his last lap.
