Fast all weekend, Vinales was again ultra consistent throughout warm-𒆙up, a good sign ahead of to♎day’s Catalan MotoGP as challenging for a podium should be possible for the ex-Yamaha rider. 

As the ope🥀ning flurry of laps came in, Alex Marquez showed good speed in order to go fastest for LCR Honda. 

The Spaniard suffered a big crash at t꧙he end of FP4 and subsequently missed qualifying, but after being passed fit for today’s Grand Prix, Marquez was showing no ill effects.

Marquez was then pushed down to third as a fast-starting Alex Rins took over from Maverꦐick Vinales. 

With Rins and Vinales continuing to pump in fast l𒐪aps, Brad Binder was hot 😼on their heels as he went third for KTM. 

One of several riders that was left disappointed after failing to ಌadvance through Q1, three-time MotoGP race winner in 2022 Enea Bastianini once again 𒅌showed how strong he is in race trim. 

The Gresini Duc𓆉ati rider churned out several competi꧑tive lap times, with his best putting him second behind Vinales. 

After topping the last four sessions he’s taken part in, Catalunya Moto💦GP polesitter Aleix Espargaro took a break from top spot as he instead hit trouble at turn five. 

Sitting fifth moments before 𝔍the checkered flag came out, Espargaro suffered a front-ꦫend crash at turn five. 

The pre-race ⭕favourite is likely to face stiff competition from Francesco Bagnaia and reigning world champion Fabio Quartararo during today’s GP, however, his biggest rival could be rear tyre degradation. 

After seeing fellow Yamaha rider Franco Morbidelli make a resurgence of sorts througho𝔉ut free practice - something the Italian continued in warm-up as he claimed ninth, Andrea Dovizioso did the same as he found enough pace to squeeze into the top ten.

For the first time this season Dovizioso finished ahead of Quartararo, albeit the French rider was not chasing lap time a🍬t any stage.&🍌nbsp;

Quartararo could only manage 13th place as he split ♕the Prima Pramac Racing Ducati’s of Johann Zarco and Jorge Martin. 

Like Mugello, Quartararo didn’t seem to have the pace on Friday in particular, but as the weekend has gone on he’s become a real🤪 threat to the likes of Espargaro and Bagnaia. Quartararo will start the race from third.
