When the MotoGP takes to the track, the situation is difficult: the Silverstone circuit already offers quite little grip in normal times, but what's more, it's cold (16°/15°), the track is not totally dry, and drops of rain are already starting to fall again...
Several pilots, including Official Ducati and Marc Marquez, therefore decided to try the intermediate tires to do one or two laps.
In fact, no one is really active, only 10 drivers are on the track, and it is once again the rain enthusiasts who are Yonny Hernandez and Loris Baz which are at the top of the table in rain tires when Andrea Iannone minor fall at very bumpy turn #1 with his intermediate tires.
5 minutes from the end of the session, Valentino Rossi also try the intermediaries while Jorge Lorenzo is raining. These appear more effective at this time…
Note that Maverick Vinales and Marc Marquez did not participate in the session, the race being expected in the dry at 16:30 p.m., while the pole sitter Cal Crutchlow just came out to greet the crowd.
