But the issue was quickly resolved, as the Australian headed back out for the final few minutes and went fastest ahead of Fabio Quartararo💙 on his final flying lap.
It looked as though Quartararo was set to fini🥂sh on top for the fourth consecutive session at Portimao, but instead settled for second ahead of Joa🅰n Mir.
Fourth was Aleix Espargaro for Aprilia, while fifth was Franco Morbidelli - the same position as he start♉s today’s third race oꦓf the year.
In sixth position was the second Lenovo Ducati of Fr𓃲ancesco Bagnaia, who will have work to do from 11th place this after🎃noon.
Seventh was championship leader Zarco. The French rider has a four point lead over the Yamahas of Quartararo and Maverick Vinaꦏles, and it was Vinales who▨ finished one spot back in eighth.
Rounding out the top ten were the KTM’s♏ of Brad Binder in ninth and Danilo Petrucci in tenth.
Marc M꧒arquez was the last rider out on track as he elected to miss most of the session. The eight-time world champion only completed three flying laps.
As expected Marquez will face a tough race with 25 consecutive laps - a distance the arm has not been put through in nine months. Therefore ✤the Spaniard chose not to put too much emphasis on the warm up session.
It was a tough morning for Takaaki Nakagami as he once again struggled with his injuries suffered from ♏Frཧiday.
The Japanese rider headed out initially, but after a few lapജs could not finish the session and was visibly in some discomfort whilst sitting in the pit box.
