Francesco Bagnaia keeps command of the timeshee🍬ts during a sunny, butꦓ windy warm-up for the 2023 Americas MotoGP in Austin, Texas.
The reigning🃏 champion, pole qualifier and Sprint winner, who heads into this aꦑfternoon's grand prix just one point behind title leader Marco Bezzecchi, topped the session with a 2m 3.988s.
That put the Du🧜cati star 0.3s clear of Saturday faller Fabio Quartararo (Yamaha)༒, with RNF Aprilia's Miguel Oliveira completing the top three.
Bezzecchi meanwhile joined Alex Marquez - who🔯 battled sicknes🧔s during Saturday's race, vomiting in his helmet before crashing out of fifth - and Franco Morbidelli in suffering a warm-up fall.
Peter has been in the paddock for ꧟20 years and has🌠 seen Valentino Rossi come and go. He is at the forefront of the Suzuki exit story and Marc Marquez’s injury issues.
