Repsol Honda Team’s Alex Marquez led the MotoGP™ field in Warm Up at the Gran Premio TISSOT dell'Emilia Romagna e della Riviera di Rimini, the reigning Moto2™ World Champion’s fastest lap was a 1:32.402 as he led polesitter Maverick Viñales (Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP) and second in the Championship Fabio Quartararo (Petronas Yamaha SRT) by less than a tenth.
Track temperature at the start of the 20-minute session was a very cool 26 degrees Celsius, and on the entry into Turn 2, Pramac Racing’s Jack Miller suffered an off-throttle highside. The Australian looked a bit beaten up in the aftermath but thankfully, Miller was able to head back out on circuit but he could only manage P20 – hopefully, the man second on the grid won’t be feeling the effects later on for the race.
Franco Morbidelli (Petronas Sprinta Racing) – who is still nursing a stomach bug – finished P4 in Warm Up as he goes in search of a second consecutive MotoGP™ victory, while Takaaki Nakagami (LCR Honda Idemitsu) made it two Hondas in the top five.
