An hour before the start of the morning practice session, rain began to fall on the Misano circuit. The air temperature was 19° and that of the track 18°. The trail was uniformly wet. The weather forecast predicted a lull at the end of the morning, which did not mean that the asphalt would be dry by the time the Moto3 GP started at 11 a.m.
Almost all of the drivers took to the track to adjust their machines for the wet. Penalties involving a drop of 12 places on the grid were announced for Enea Bastianini (the pole man), Tony Arbolino, Niccolo Antonelli, Ayumu Sasaki, Kaito Toba and Tatsuki Suzuki, for driving too slowly during the qualifying session .
Gabriel Rodrigo fell without gravity. Romani Fenati was scared.
Big moment for @RomanoFenati 😮
