MotoGP San Marino GP: Bagnaia Steals the Show

MotoGP world champion Francesco Bagnaia has responded to recent form threats from Marc Marquez and Jorge Martin to set the fastest lap at Misano on Friday. Bagnaia was quickest in hot afternoon temperatures at the San Marino Grand Prix and his home circuit where he won MotoGP races in 2021 and 2022. The Italian is still struggling to change direction smoothly on the GP24 after his crash in Aragon last Sunday. He waited until the final minutes to clock a time just three-tenths of a second from the lap record, set by Martin last year.

Top Performers of the Day

  • Bagnaia continues to show his form as championship contender.
  • Marc Marquez finished in second, competing at the venue of his previous win in 2021.
  • Jorge Martin showcased remarkable speed, finishing third.
  • Franco Morbidelli impresses with a fourth-place finish.

Notable Incidents

  1. Enea Bastianini claimed fifth place but struggled on the track.
  2. Pedro Acosta initially led the session but suffered a slow-speed crash.
  3. Fabio Quartararo faced technical issues but managed to secure ninth.
