Enea Bastianini leads a ruthless display from Ducati in Misano MotoGP FP2
While news that Marc Marquez intends to make his MotoGP return at next week’s two-day Misano tes🥂t was confirmed by HRC at the start of FP2, th💜e on-track action saw Johann Zarco become🐬 the first crasher of the weekend.
The Pramac rid🌱er lost the front at turn one, a fate both factory Yamaha riders Fabio Quartararo and Franco Morbidelli near🥃ly suffered in FP1. Zarco’s GP22 machine suffered considerable damage and was thus not used again.
After Zꦏarco’s early fall, Ducatiꩵ’s start to FP2 took another big blow as Francesco Bagnaia went down at turn 13.
In a position to create history this weekend - Bagnaia will become the first Ducati rider to win four consecutive MotoGP races for the Italian brand should he claim vic🎃tory on Sunday - Bagnaia was able to momentarily keep hold of second place on the leaderboard.
However, that soon changed when Aprilia began to show their true pace. Aleix Espargaro went quickest after setting the fastest lap of the weekend to that point, while Maverick Vinales split Quartararo and Baꦗgnaia in third.
While Aprilia were turning up the heat in terms🍎 of quick laps, Alex Rins suffered from not having enough heat in the left side of his front tyre as he crashed at turn 15.
Backing up the notion that Aprilia should be back to fighting for the win after a disappointing Austrian MotoGP, Vinales set a blinding time o🍎f 1:31.882s to go three tenths clear of Espargaro.

Fre🤡sh off his one-year deal with Aprilia RNF for 2023, Miguel Oliveira made a good start to the Misano Grand Prix for KTM as he positioned himself in seventh with ten minutes to go.
Once ag🌺ain showing how strong he was in the final sector, Quartararo, who began to challenge Vinales for top spot, gained nearly a tenth of a second to go fastest by 0.0🎃04s.
With the all-important time attacks underway, Oliveira’s good start to Friday pr🍨actice came to a disappointing end as he crashed at turn 10.
With just one lap needed in order to make th🎐e difference, Bagnaia jumped up to first place with a time of 1:31.631s, however, Bastianini went even quicker to make it a Ducati 1-2.
Things then got even better for the Italian manufacturer as Miller went third,🦹 oneౠ place ahead of Zarco.
Unable to fight back,ꦿ Quartararo had to settle for fifth place wh♏ile Vinales and Espargaro made it sixth and seventh for Aprilia.
