MotoGP Motegi, Warm Up: Marquez in the lead ahead of Lorenzo and Iannone, Rossi is 4th

Marc Marquez made his "big voice" by winning the warm up of the MotoGP class in Motegi, scene of the Japanese Grand Prix, before the three non-European races, which precede the final race in Valencia, scheduled for November 9th.

The Honda rider in fact stopped the clock at a time of 1:45.217, taking almost half a second off his Yamaha compatriot Jorge Lorenzo, who in turn is 0.125s ahead of Andrea Iannone's Ducati, which was very fast this morning.

The Team Pramac rider is ahead of Valentino Rossi, author of the fourth best performance. The nine-time world champion, who has a gap from the top of 0.742s, is ahead of Dani Pedrosa's Honda and Andrea Dovizioso's Ducati, who will start from pole in the race.

Closing out the Top Ten are Stefan Bradl on the Honda of Team LCR and the Yamaha M1s of Team Tech 3 of Pol Espargarò and Bradley Smith. Sixteenth and twenty-first times for Alex de Angelis from San Marino (Yamaha Open Forward Racing) and Danilo Petrucci from Terni, Iodaracing rider who next year will replace Andrea Iannone (who will join Dovizioso) in the Ducati Pramac Team.

We remind you that Marquez will only need to maintain his current lead in the standings over Dani Pedrosa to win his second consecutive MotoGP title. It would be the first time that a Honda rider won the title on the track owned by the Japanese company.
