Italian
Enea Bastianini on a Gresini Ducati set a new record on Friday, breaking the Bugatti
circuit mark set by Frenchman Zarco in 2018.
Zarco lapped in
1min 30.537 shaving more than 0.6 sec off the day-old record as the top nine
riders on Saturday all bettered Bastianini’s Friday time.
Zarco was 0.031
faster than Francesco Bagnaia on a factory Ducati with championship leader
Fabio Quartararo on a Yamaha 0.145 behind.
While Zarco, who
rides for Ducati satellite team Pramac, is seeking his first win at MotoGP
level, Quartararo is chasing his first victory in his home grand prix.
Spanish multiple
world champion
Marc Marquez was a menacing fourth on his Honda.
Last year’s Le
Mans winner, Australian
Jack Miller, was fifth on the other factory Ducati.
Bastianini,
beset by mechanical problems, was only 16th fastest time in the third practice
session.
His Friday time
was still good enough to stay in the top 10 of the combined classification,
good enough to advance directly to the second and final qualifying session in
the afternoon.
Q2 starts at 12:10 GMT with the riders outside the top 10
battling for two places in Q1 which follows at once and decides the first four
rows of the grid.
