MotoGP Misano, Free Practice 2: Marquez confirms himself as the fastest ahead of Pedrosa and Rossi
Even better time for the Honda rookie, on his first outing at Misano with the MotoGP
The second free practice session of the MotoGP class at the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli (stage of the thirteenth stage of the 2013 world championship), saw Marc Marquez excel once again. The world championship leader stopped the clock at a time of 1:34.200, a time 33 thousandths better than that set by his team-mate Dani Pedrosa, who trails the 2012 Moto2 champion by 30 points in the championship.
Two Repsol Hondas are therefore in the lead, ahead of the two Yamahas of the Factory Team of Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo, both on track with the M1 equipped with the new seamless gearbox. The Pesaro native is 258 thousandths behind Marquez, while the reigning champion is 37 thousandths behind his team-mate. A good start for the two, considering that the new gearbox had only been tested once in Brno.
Aleix Espargarò's performance was fantastic, riding the ART Aprilia of Team Aspar. The Spanish centaur is even fifth, just over half a second from the top. A truly surprising performance for the driver who could wear the colors of Team NGM Mobile next year, enjoying this well-deserved fifth place.
Behind him, the Honda of Alvaro Bautista's Team Gresini and the first Ducati, that of tester Michele Pirro, who has ridden hundreds and hundreds of kilometers here on the LAB motorbike, which he uses on this occasion. Behind him is another Ducati, that of Andrea Dovizioso from Forlì, seven tenths behind Marquez.
Closing out the Top Ten are Stefan Bradl, riding the Team LCR Honda (who crashed without physical consequences) and Cal Crutchlow, in the shade compared to previous races. The next Ducati rider is ahead of the Ducatis of Andrea Iannone and Nicky Hayden and the excellent Danilo Petrucci, thirteenth with the Ioda Suter BMW of the Came Iodaracing Team. The rider from Terni is ahead of Bradley Smith's Yamaha SAT and Claudio Corti's FTR Kawasaki of Tram NGM Mobile.

Hahaha the guy who wanted to go fast kept looking for Marc's wake to follow him and stay attached to him, then they shout that he was ahead of Jorge, hahaha what a phenomenon, the greatest of all time who needs a rookie to learn to go fast, ahahahahaha!!! Pippone and bracco!
With all the times this year they have taken the lead on Rossi... why can't he do it?
As regards the pharmione, it must be demonstrated…
And to finish in front of Jorge he was already there BEFORE trying Marc's trail
With all the times this year they have taken the lead on Rossi... why can't he do it? I agree. BUT after all the times where he and his fans have criticized those who exploited the trail, he has shown that he has no ideals to follow and that if he does it it's fine with him, if others do it, they are to be crucified!!! IT NEEDS EQUITY!!!
...this is what bothers me...the so-called Tavullian fundamentalism...I don't mind Rossi as such...we all have strengths and weaknesses...I'm bothered by the fans who follow him...and who now gnaw...even if he wins them all , these m@rd@ figures will remain indelible in everyone's memory!!!
it's not a question of taking the slipstream, but waiting for Marquez after the long run and setting the time behind Marzquez is not the same thing, he qualified half half behind the Spaniard with a relative better time, could it be to copy the trajectories of the young rookie? definitely yes !!!!
In his place I would be ashamed!
why does he know shame?
he is an egocentric and mythomaniac so shame is unknown to him.
Dovi set the time behind Lorenzo, so criticism can be leveled at Rossi, but this is what he should do at every GP and from now on even more so, given that he has a bike with a gearbox similar to that of the Honda and they have to learn to use it very quickly like they use it in Honda.
Lorenzo decided to race alone, in search of time, perhaps because he already knows the Hondas very well, given that he has been racing together since the beginning of the season. Now Rossi needs new references, and Marquez is the one to follow for now, because that's what he is learning and looking for the limit. Pedrosa and Lorenzo never give 100% on every lap in practice because they know where they have the margin. I expect them to be as wild tomorrow as they were at Silverstone and to bring the times down quite a bit and Rossi will probably be fourth again at that point. Today, with increasingly used tyres, they were going faster and faster, so they certainly still have a good margin with new tyres.
Marquez had 2 or 3 sectors improving and he met Pesek in the last sector of the last lap and was unable to improve. Rossi had stamped him, and lost the usual 2 tenths on Marquez's time, it is probable that if they had arrived without Pesek Marquez would have improved, detaching Pedrosa by 150-300 thousandths, while Rossi would still have finished third but closer to Dani.
yes, okay…………
but the figure of me@da remains, if others are criticized (by medaset) it is right to do it for him too. This is NOT the first time this has happened.
With the Hondas it's the first time he's succeeded, they usually shorten the lap. They know that dragging Rossi with them is not a good idea, even if he is unable to go faster than them, he risks having him qualify better than usual and then becomes problematic in the race. Because as we saw at Silverstone, having someone with a slower pace next to you can cost you dearly, as happened to Pedrosa.
Rossi had tried to perhaps be with Lorenzo, but he was always too distant. Usually he was never able to stay with riders like Marquez and Lorenzo right from the start and perhaps he will remain that way tomorrow in qualifying. For now, Rossi is unable to enter with new tires and set a fast time on the first lap and set his record lap on the second. At the moment those who do it regularly are Lorenzo and Marquez and Rossi even though in their wake, in the first lap of "warming up" the tires he doesn't lose more than in the following fast lap, so it's always difficult for him to keep in the wake of a fastest driver.
Today with used tires he was trailing Marquez but I believe that in qualifying, even if you want to do very well, the minimum fourth position will be a given.
Despite the seamless pace here too the Hondas are faster by at least 2 tenths per lap and for now Pedrosa is the one who managed to do 3 record laps in the final session, Marquez can also be faster on a single lap, but the consistency he finds it more than anything else in the race.
…having reds behind you is never a good idea? But if he always gets them in the race... do you really believe what you write? Shameful... you're probably among those who give reds to the world at the end of the year on the various forums...
fatman, as usual you're the one who doesn't understand. I'm not saying that Rossi can beat them at all times, but if at the start he finds himself closer to the front line and manages to start well as sometimes happens and one of the usual 3 starts badly, which often happens that someone will find himself behind Rossi for some time, and given that Rossi was not effective in the first laps it could negatively influence the race of those who started badly, as partly happened at Silverstone.
PS. Keeping Rossi close to you in practice and in the race isn't the best, because in any case if you slowly improve by that tenth at each session and then he gets closer to you, there's a real risk that he'll be annoying. Rossi has a fairly high-performance official bike, to annoy the Honda riders, the potential is there and he must know how to exploit it better at every moment of the race. Then see it how you want, I would be happy to see Rossi on the podium again, especially at this moment when if they help out, they can make Marquez lose points and reopen the games for the world championship.
...this time however he has the mitigating circumstance of being in front of his fans...he already crashed at Mugello, at least he will want to do well in the second Italian race...certainly even if he finishes ahead of Lorenzo a few times his season will be as good as it was match, it is to be considered way below expectations...almost a failure...we'll see!!!
Most of you talk sitting calmly in front of the PC screen... and reading what you write shows that you don't understand much about motorbikes... Rossi's time was set in the second run and not behind the Spaniard... I I'm a Ducati supporter, and when I have to shoot the Reds to zero I don't hold back... but you have to be fair, and give him his merits when he's earned them... many of you speak only to offend and not in a sporting manner... and this is very sad…
Rossi made the time in the third run, not in the second and it seems to me that also in the second, he tried to follow Marquez, then I think in the third they also exchanged positions, because Marquez, either because he made a mistake, or because he didn't want to shoot it he did a long.

Look at the times, I saw the tests, and I'm not a detractor of Rossi and I tell you that he set the best times following Marquez and in my opinion he did well.
It's fantastic to read the mental ruminations of the trolls, when he arrives behind Lorenzo he's stopped, if he arrives in front it's because he followed the trail, then give stadium fans to the others. But what are you cheering for? Nothing seems to me because the posts of the other drivers are always empty. Why instead of being a troll and "making people mad" (that's what you think you're doing at least), don't you try to make friends? The internet is also useful for this, then oh if your purpose in life is really to flame continuously for no reason then good, I don't know what else to tell you. I say this with sympathy, it's not an attack, but because I'd like to have you as friends and thumb your nose without even reading you because that's the omelette anyway...
I understand, but it's not like that only with Rossi, unfortunately there are the anti-reds, but there are also the Rossists, who do to other riders what the anti-reds do to Rossi, the Rossists relentlessly criticize all the riders (except Marqez, I don't understand Why). All these anti-red and Rossista fans are ruining this sport!!! We should all be passionate about all drivers, regardless of positions!!! have fairness with all the riders, from a Lorenzo to a Pesek!!!
I would like to respond to both of you, I too would like what you say so it's not nice, but when I started writing (a few years ago) I always wrote in a respectful and moderate way but the "yellow" support has always insulted me, anyone who didn't support reds and anyone had even the slightest doubt about the abilities of their favorite so after getting tired of the insults from VR fans I adapted, like everyone else who doesn't support VR, I think.
What I want to say is that "the anti-reds" as they are now would never have existed if there had not been "the pro-reds" is the inevitable consequence and adaptation to the boorish fans, there are supporters on both sides and then there are those who are fed up and like me who go on the counterattack.
To verify what I say just look back and you understand.
Marc doesn't criticize him because they wave everywhere that he is Rossi's heir, that Rossi is his idol, that he learned from Rossi etc. etc. this is the reason, the redists see Marc as his heir, but in my opinion he has nothing of vr it's just meda school &c. and newspapers.
I agree with Bryan.
But I add:
All the pilots except mr. Dad buys me the team….
Obviously it's a joke, but the subject in question really bothers me....
Oh I understand but do a skimming eheh, if someone insults you insult them but don't blame the whole category 8).
It's just free practice... Stay calm...
Usually in qualifying the top 3 (especially Lorenzo and Pedrosa) remove several tenths...
The only data that has proven useful in these races regarding free practice is the race pace (and related simulation) that Lorenzo faces in the last free practice session before qualifying...
The rest is to be taken with a pinch of salt.
