Miller leads FP3 in Valencia, Quartararo and Bagnaia in Q2

The pilots MotoGP met this morning under radiant sunshine. Although the gusts have calmed down, the cold trapped some of the protagonists in the category, such as Marco Bezzecchi, who made a mistake just after the start at turn 7. The rookie escaped unscathed, but his Desmosedici caught fire and the session had to be briefly interrupted. 

In the time trial, Jack Miller was finally the fastest with a time of 1'29.921. Australia, which is competing in its last race with Ducati, is a little more than a tenth ahead of another Ducati, that of Johann Zarco. Brad Binder, who fell in turn n°4, was credited with the third time ahead of Luca Marini and fabio quartararo, pointed at a little more than three tenths from Miller. 

In his last flying lap, Marc Marquez, who fell twice on Friday, took the sixth fastest time ahead of Aleix Espargaro, Jorge Martin, author of the pole here last year, and Francesco Bagnaia, who secured a place in Q2. Joan Mir completes the Top 10. 

Among the losers, we can cite Alex Rins, 11th only four thousandths behind his teammate, but he will have to go through Q1. Enea Bastianini will also have to go through the repechage, just like Miguel Oliveira and Maverick Viñales, who fell for the second time this season on Saturday morning.
