The MotoGP world championship turns to the last qualifying round of 2022. The near-summer temperatures offer optimal track conditions, with the asphalt measuring just over 32 ° C. Pecco Bagnaia and Fabio Quartararo remain stamped to the group that goes directly to Q2, while Enea Bastianini he is forced to go through Q1, failing to improve the time on Friday during FP3.
In the first qualifying session they immediately pushed forward Alex Rins and Maverick Vinales, prove to have a better pace than their rivals. Enea Bastianini for a moment goes to take the second time lapse behind the rider from Roses, but she falls immediately after and does not have the opportunity to retry the last time attack. The Gresini Racing team rider will start from 13th place, but the attack on final third place is postponed until tomorrow, when it will be essential to get a good start.
