MotoGP | Barcelona GP FP3: Aprilia sets a record with Espargarò, Bagnaia is fourth
Seven Italian bikes in the Top Ten in the third free practice session of the Catalan GP
MotoGP Catalan GP Free Practice 3 – The magical moment continues for Aprilia and Aleix Espargarò, who set a new record on the Catalan track in the third free practice session of the Catalan Grand Prix in Barcelona.
The #41 from the Noale manufacturer set the best-lap-record of 1:38.771, a time that allowed him to beat the Ducati Pramacs of Johann Zarco and Jorge Martin, 0.131s and 0.234s behind respectively.
Fourth and fifth times for the official Ducatis of Pecco Bagnaia and Jack Miller, with the Australian getting ever closer to the KTM with a view to 2023.
The reigning champion Fabio Quartararo (Yamaha) is sixth (first non-Italian bike on the track), ahead of the Ducati Mooney VR46 Racing Team of Luca Marini, the Suzuki of Alex Rins and the rookie Fabio Di Giannantonio (Gresini Racing), who after the pole-position at Mugello continues to amaze.
They will have to pass through Q1 among others: Maverick Vinales (Aprilia), Enea Bastianini (Ducati Gresini), Joan Mir (Suzuki), Marco Bezzecchi (Ducati Mooney VR46 Racing Team), Franco Morbidelli (Yamaha), Andrea Dovizioso (Yamaha WithU) and Michele Pirro (Ducati Aruba).
