The program of the Valencia GP (November 16th) – The presentation of the qualifications GP Valencia – The chronicle of the FP1 – The chronicle of the FP2 – The chronicle of the FP3

Hello and welcome back to LIVE LIVE of the free practice 4 and of the qualifications of the GP of Valencia 2019, the last act of the MotoGP World Championship. On the Ricardo Tormo track there is a challenging challenge against time, decisive for defining the starting grid.

Marc Marquez wants to lengthen its winning streak. The eight-time world champion is determined to close with a bang, updated his data: 11 victories and 17 seasonal podiums. Extending the discussion, just mention the 81 GPs won in total, the 133 occasions in the top-3 and the 90 pole-positions. Really scary numbers. The main opponents come from home Yamaha, or Spanish Maverick Vinales and the French Fabio Quartararo. The Iberian has returned to engrave in perfect "Top Gun" style on the Sepang circuit (Malaysia). A royal victory for the Iberian, able to dominate the M1 like no one and to impose itself in authoritative ways. The objective, therefore, is to replicate and close in third position in the championship, blunting possible attacks by the compatriot Alex Rins (Suzuki), seven points distant. Linked to the fate of the three diapason team there is also Valentino Rossi. Months of contradictions and suffering for the nine times world champion who hopes to close a vintage in the best way, for so many reasons, to forget. The seventh place in the overall ranking, at 229 points from Marquez, speaks volumes about the season with the funeral contours for the Tavullia centaur.

Looking for a good result too Andrea Dovizioso, first of the humans in the general classification. The 139 lengths from the top say so much about the difficulties of the Forlì, this year, in comparison with the Honda champion. The critical points of the cornering speed are the usual ones and, often, "Dovi" and the same Danilo Petrucci found themselves driving on the eggs, as they say. Finding solutions is essential.
