Alonso, with a time of 1:40.505, He was the fastest in the official classification held at the ‘Marco Simoncelli’ circuit from Misano Adriátic, leading the Italian Luca Lunetta (Honda) and the Spanish Iván Ortolá (KTM).

Italian Filippo Farioli (Honda), Japanese Tatsuki Suzuki (Husqvarna) and Taiyo Furusato (Honda) and Spanish David Almansa (Honda) were the four classified in the first minute of preliminary classification with the option to move to second, although ‘t visiting workshops to change tires may still have many changes in the timetable and There are many pilot candidates to achieve that goal.

The Spanish Vicente Perez (Honda), who was trying to achieve that goal, was not so lucky and was involved in the second crash of the day, after the one he experienced in the second official practice in the morning, when he finished second behind the Australian. Joel Kelso (KTM), preventing him from defending that position.

Even if their result was not defended, no one could lose Vicente Perezwhich ended in the second best timebehind Kelso, but ahead Taiyo Furusato and Filippo Fariolialthough the big doubt that arose in the situation was whether his mechanic could properly repair the damage caused to his motorcycle.

He did not reach the second classification, by a very narrow margin, David Almansa, so are the British Scott Ogden (Honda), and also the Spanish Xabi Zurutuza (KTM) and Joel Esteban (CFMoto).

In the second classification are the Spaniards Angel Piqueras (Honda) came out with the penalty of knowing he was allowed a double ‘long lap’ for the incident he had with British Scott Ogden in the second official practice session that morning, forcing him to try a good sorting which will not waste too much time in serving the punishment.

Kelso, who came with a very good speed from the first classification, the first reference of the second with 1:42.293, although it was a ‘slow’ record that was soon brought down by the best drivers in the category, particularly that Ángel Piqueras himself, that He came out determined to gain a definite advantage before the penalty and stopped the clock in 1:41.282, ahead of Iván Ortolá (KTM) and David Muñoz (KTM).

Meanwhile, the world leaderDavid Alonso, His first fastest lap was canceled due to exceeding circuit limits, which did not prevent him from taking second on the next lap, overtaking shortly after Adrián Fernández (Honda) and Daniel Holgado (Gas Gas).

But the ‘good’ classification has only just begun and the Dutchman Colin Veijer (Husqvarna) was next to set the pace of his rivals, always chased by David Alonso who does not want surprises and is looking for a place on the first starting line. with Adrián Fernández in third position.

Veijer’s record, 1:41.060, is not the best in the category, because David Alonso managed to go almost a second fasterat 1:40.184, which raised the question of whether the asphalt is in the best possible conditions and, to find out, the last tire change for all drivers will be decisive.

In that final outing, David Alonso played a trick to prevent any rider from following his motorcycle’s slipstream, while Joel Kelso, who was on track, bettered Veijer’s record in a time of 1:41.012, still far from the Colombian record of Spanish descent.

And Veijer was quick to ‘give the ball back’ to Kelso by lapping 1:40.959, but a small mistake meant the Dutchman went to the ground another and out of the classification, while a series of drivers rode partial fast laps.

And the world championship leader did not disappoint, because on his last lap and alone he ran 1:40.505, which gave him a more than important advantage, after showing. an unattainable speed in practice compared to his immediate pursuer, the Italian Luca Lunetta and the Spanish Iván Ortolá, who will occupy the first starting line.

At the second starting line, they will be the Spaniard Ángel Piqueras, the Dutch Collin Veijer and the Australian Joel Kelsowith the Spaniards Daniel Holgado and Adrián Fernández and the Japanese Taiyo Furusato.
