MotoGP: Bagnaia over Quartararo in Practice 2

Ducati Lenovo Team’s Francesco Bagnaia was once again able to illustrate his breathtaking pace over one-lap by flying to top spot as the opening day of the Red Bull Grand Prix of Spain came to an end in Jerez.

The Italian’s 1m37.209s was more than enough to make sure he was at the top of the timesheets in FP2, with World Championship leader Fabio Quartararo the only man to be within touching distance of the 2019 Moto2™ World Champion; 0.178 seconds adrift of his title rival.

Marc Marquez elected against a fast time in FP2 and ended Friday 16th overall, but admitted he had no issues riding through the corner that ended his season in 2020 – even noting he was the fastest Honda in that section in FP1.

“I checked the data today, especially after FP1 because after FP2 I didn’t have time,” Marquez began.

“But in FP1 in Turn 3 and Turn 4 I was the fastest guy in Honda, it’s left corners, it’s corners I love.

“Maybe on the first lap I passed there I was maybe a little bit [steady], but since that point I ride in a normal way and I was the fastest guy of Honda in that particular corner in FP1, in FP2 I didn’t check.

“But also, T1 [sector one] is my strongest at the moment, that corner is in T1.

“So, there was no problem to ride on the mental side. You need to be against the fear. You don’t need to be scared about the moment.”

Jack Miller 12th quick
