Fabio Quartararo split his first day at Silverstone between practice up to six times for the long lap penalty placed on the runway at turn 14 and he has to finish on Sunday in one of the first three laps of the race and his obligation to find a good dry spin. And he fulfilled both tasks with a high note, he saw his knee touch the asphalt without touching the white line in his practice and in the afternoon he finished in the lead of MotoGP with a time of 1’58″946 , the only one to drop from 1’59” on this first day.
The Frenchman was ahead of Joan Mir, Maverick Viñales and Johann Zarco, the author of the best time of FP1, by more than a tenth. They completed the top-10 and therefore have a place for Q2 Aleix Espargaró, Oliveira, Rins, Bastianini, Miller and Bezzecchi. 100% success for Suzuki and Aprilia who placed their respective two riders with solvency in that top-10.
Pole position favorites such as Pecco Bagnaia, who signed the last two at Sachsenring and Assen, will have to improve in FP3 this Saturday morning to add to those conquered at Jerez and Le Mans, the year’s absolute leader and remain. 14 thousandths of the cut. Also Marini or Jorge Martín and the four Hondas are not in that top-10.
