MotoGP | GP Valencia FP2: Ducati hat-trick, Marini in command, Quartararo eighth ahead of Bagnaia

MotoGP Valencia GP Valencian Community Free Practice 2 – Ducati hat-trick in the second free practice session of the Grand Prix of the Valencian Community in the MotoGP class, the 20th and final stage of the 2022 MotoGP scheduled for Sunday in Valencia.

The fastest was Luca Marini who took the Mooney VR46 Racing Team's Desmosedici GP to the top. The #10 from the Borgo Panigale manufacturer, who lapped in 1:30.217, put his brand mates Jorge Martin (Pramac Racing) and Jack Miller (in his last race with the Ducati before getting on the KTM on Tuesday) behind him. ed.).

Fourth time for Marc Marquez, who on the Honda Factory suffers a gap of 0.173s from the top and who precedes our Enea Bastianini (Ducati Gresini), Miguel Oliveira (KTM) and Johann Zarco (Ducati Pramac).

Eighth time for Fabio Quartararo, who on the Yamaha is the one with the best race pace. The Frenchman will be forced to win on Sunday to win the title, hoping that Bagnaia does not do better than 15th and Saturday's qualifying will be fundamental as it promises to be an uphill battle against Ducati in very good form.

“El Diablo” is right in front of Pecco Bagnaia, who recovered after the 17th time in FP1, closing the day with less tension. He closes the Top Ten and is the last rider to qualify for provisional Q2 Brad Binder with KTM.

Alex Rins with the Suzuki finished 11th, ahead of the Aprilias of Maverick Vinales and Aleix Espargarò, which in the last races seem distant relatives of the RS-GPs that were great protagonists for much of the Championship.

“Rookie of The Year” Marco Bezzecchi (Ducati Mooney VR46 Racing Team) is 15th, behind Joan Mir's Suzuki and ahead of Franco Morbidelli's Yamaha. Only 23rd was Fabio Di Giannantonio (Ducati Gresini) who crashed without consequences.
