The Rosinc Maverick Viñales (Yamaha) conquered the pole for the San Marino Grand Prix, ahead of the Italian Franco Morbidelli (Yamaha) and the leader of the World Championship, the Frenchman Fabio Quartararo (Yamaha). Viñales broke the track record at the Misano-Marco Simoncelli Circuit at a Yamaha Superiority Festival.
In this way, the Roses rider reached the second first starting position of the year after the one in Austria, in a day in which the bikes of the three tuning forks reigned; they unquestionably led the podium and the top four places, with Valentino Rossi’s fourth. Pol Espargaró (KTM) and the Portuguese Miguel Oliveira (KTM) slipped into the final fight, taking Aleix Espargaró (Aprilia), who will be thirteenth, in only one tenth of a second.
Arenas recoils
In the Moto3 category, Albert Arenas from Girona did not have a good day and will finish thirteenth in the San Marino GP. Arenas had a setback in Q2, after leaving and returning to the box without scoring or time as did Vietti, Suzuki or Migno, among others. The Girona native, however, was the last to return to the tarmac.
The pole it was for the Japanese Ai Ogura, who debuted in first place and continues to run for the World Cup.
