Ducati’s rider speed took the spotlight alongside the return of the MotoGP defending champion, Jorge Martin, who was very cautious with his left wrist and managed to complete 14 laps, a session that could be considered normal. The Aprilia rider’s best lap time left him 1.8 seconds behind Marc Marquez, who didn’t give anyone a chance. This impression was confirmed by the half-second gap that separated him from Fabio Di Giannantonio, his closest challenger in lap times. At the circuit where, on paper, Francesco Bagnaia had the weapons to fight anyone for victory, the Italian rider finished with the third fastest time, just under six tenths of a second behind his teammate. The fourth fastest was Alex Marquez, the championship leader, who was six tenths behind his brother. Maverick Vinales, in fifth place, broke the Ducati resistance and took the first position among the KTM riders. In sixth place was Franco Morbidelli, who was over nine tenths behind and only five thousandths ahead of Fermín Aldeguer in seventh place. The Gresini team debutant seemed to have consolidated the progress he made two weeks ago in Austin in a long race, where he crashed while fighting for fourth place. Joan Mir, in eighth place, was the fastest among the Honda riders, despite his best lap time being almost a second behind Marquez. Marco Bezzecchi in ninth place didn’t seem to be in good news compared to the return of Jorge Martin, who was still experiencing slight pain. He compressed it with ice immediately after getting off the bike and was always under close observation of Dr. Angel Charte, the championship’s medical director. Pedro Acosta completed the top ten where all Yamaha riders didn’t fit in, starting with Fabio Quartararo in eleventh place. The only accident in this session occurred in the final moments when Jack Miller lost control of his Pramac Yamaha bike in Turn 4 and fell.
