Potential෴ly a preview to how today’s race will t𝓡ake shape, Jorge Martin began MotoGP warm-up by closely following world champion Fabio Quartararo. 

Following a disastrous q𓃲ualifying session, Marc Marquez came close to throwing his Repsol Honda down the road on just his third flying lap. 

Marquez, who crashed twice during Q1, momentarily lost the rear coming out of turn ten which could have led to a massive highside. But thankfully for Marquez and his RC213V the eight-time world champion produced an impressive save.&nb🦋sp;

He was not so lucky the second time around… 

While Marquez was struggling to find his rhythm, fellow Honda rider Takaaki Na🎃kagami had no such issues as he le🏅d the way. 

A complete turnaround for the Japanese rider who qualified last for the first time sinceꦓ joining MotoGP💧. 

Nakagami was then relegated t🦂o P2 as KTM’s Miguel Oliveira went fastest, a common theme so far this weekend.

In fact, Oliveira has spent sections of every session except Q2 in first place, something he’ll be ho❀ping to replicate in the 27-lap race.  

After making a second bike swap in just 15 minutes, Marquez finally started to show the type of 🐻pace we saw on Friday, a level of performance that suggested he could fight for victory. 

The Spaniard went second quickest before that turned into thir♐d as pole sitter Quartaraꦏro went top. 

While things looked setཧtled at the front, a ওhuge crash for Marquez ensued…

Flirting with danger already once, Marc Marquez suffered by far the biggest of his four crash🐈es so far this weekend.&nb෴sp;

After moving up to P3, Marque♚z began his latest lap with a red first sector, indicating he was pushing hard.

However, it turned out to be too hard as the special Michelin casing rear tyre, which has been a proble💙m for Marquez a🔯nd team-mate Pol Espargaro all weekend, let go in massive fashion on the entry to turn seven. 

Marquez was launched over the top of his RC213V as he suffered a landing that first saw the Spaniard stay down, before wobbling his way thr𓆉ough the gravel.

After having time to compose himself, Marquez seemed to be ok and relatively unhurt, however, medical checks will without question be needeꦛd ahead of the race. 

Out𒈔 front, Quartararo remained fastest through to the checkered flag as he finished quickest from Aprilia’s Maverick Vinales.
