MotoGP 2019. Quartararo also makes FP2 its own – MotoGP

Valencia – The temperature rises, the times are lowered, but in front of everyone remains Fabio Quartararo, 0 "148 faster than Maverick Vinales and 0" 239 than Marc Marquez: as often happens lately, they are the fastest drivers on Friday. Not only on the single lap, but also on the pace: at this moment, the three pilots of the provisional front row have something more, both in terms of speed and constancy. It is no surprise, as Jack Miller's fourth place (slipped without consequences) is not and Franco Morbidelli's fifth place: Miller, as has been regularly the case for some time, is still the fastest Ducati rider on trial, even if in the race he struggles to repeat himself at certain levels; same speech for Morbidelli, often constant on Friday, but more in trouble on race day.

ITALIANS IN DIFFICULTY

Franco is still the best among the Italian riders, while the others seem to work harder than expected, in particular Valentino Rossi, only 14th and also crashed in FP2 at turn 10, after he slipped to turn 4 in FP1, always a right bend . Rossi's fall was rather strange, as if he had put the front on something slippery: it had no consequences for the driver, but for the rest of the session, yes, because Valentino was no longer able to find speed, after being He stood in the garage for a long time changing his suit. Even Andrea Dovizioso does not smile too much, ninth at 0 "616 from Quartararo, even if Andrea is always difficult to evaluate in practice: the feeling – we will see if it will be confirmed by his words – is that here he has come back to work a bit in the management of a bike that does not fit very well with this track. Only 12th Danilo Petrucci, who once again did not make the most of the new tire, 15th Pecco Bagnaia, which unfortunately fails to repeat the good Australian performances, 13th the test driver Michele Pirro.

ZARCO IN FRONT OF CRUTCHLOW

In Casa Honda, the best after Marquez is Johann Zarco, tenth, with Cal Crutchlow 11th: the challenge between the two could have a great value for the future, with Cal suffering a lot from being behind his provisional team mate. 16th Jorge Lorenzo detached by 1 "145: the new" retired "has gone a little better, but he is always far away.

BRAVISSIMO A.ESPARGARO

Very good Aleix Espargaro who brought the Aprilia to eighth place, while Andrea Iannone is 21st: the difference between the two is always very large, even if in the race it is reduced a bit. But Andrea has to do more.

I 10 IN Q2

Here are the 10 drivers at the time already in Q2: Quartararo, Vinales, Marquez, Miller, Morbidelli, Rins, Mir, A.Espargaro, Dovizioso and Zarco.
