MotoGP LIVE Portugal Warm Up: Jack Miller spits fire!

In the Yamaha/Ducati duel which kept us in suspense twice in Qatar, Suzuki now joins in on the hilly Portimao circuit.

We will therefore have to count this afternoon with the two GSX–RR ofalex rins et Joan mir which we know are very strong at the end of the race, a period of the fight which is generally refined during the 20-minute morning warm-up.

In this now tripartite confrontation, the Iwata firm can count on the strong man of the weekend who is currently called fabio quartararo but also on the reinforcement of a Franco Morbidelli back to business, while on the contrary Borgo Panigale will have to do without the unfortunate George Martin but will be able to bet once again on the leader of the championship, a certain Johann zarco.

In the middle of it all, Marc Márquez, despite having made a spectacular comeback, has already declared that finishing the race would already be an appreciable first step.

Even though the track on the Portuguese route is covered in yellow pine pollen this morning, the weather conditions are excellent with an immaculate sky and temperatures of 18° in the air and 22° on the asphalt.

While the 21 drivers are preparing, let's enjoy these few minutes of live broadcast thanks to the official website MotoGP.com:

When the red lights go out... Maverick Vinales, certainly very upset after the cancellation of his best time, sets off first.

As usual, fabio quartararo let everyone go but we notice Marc Márquez stays in his box, just like Takaaki Nakagami.

fabio quartararoas an Danilo Petrucci and Brad Binder, uses a hard rear tire.

Jack Miller registered the first reference in 1'40.849 in front Francesco Bagnaia and Joan Mir.

Alex Espargaro continues to shine in 1'40.280 on the next pass, just in front Fabio Quartararo and Joan Mir. 

The Aprilia rider improves to 1'40.193, still ahead Joan mir definitely very present this morning, but during his third lap launched fabio quartararo takes command in 1'40.111.

It only lasted for a moment as the RS-GP #41 regained the advantage in 1'40.081 then 1'39.871.

Johann zarco seemed capable of setting the best time but was hampered by Luca Marini.

fabio quartararo, he, still equipped with a hard rear tire, then achieves 1'39.831.

The first four pilots, Fabio Quartararo, Aleix Espargaro, Joan Mir and Francesco Bagnaia, stand in less than a tenth!

After waiting a long time in his box, Marc Marquez takes the track five minutes from the end of the session.

Jack Miller experienced the same fire start problem as Johann zarco Friday…

In extremis, Joan mir seizes leadership in 139821, but The Devil does not intend to stop there and slams a 1'39.801.

In the end, however, it is Jack Miller who, at the last second, registered 1'39.721 at the top of the table!
