Quartararo was the first rider to set a sub 1m 39s lap thꦫis weekend, but while the Frenchman was heading down pit lane - hoping to do a practice start, Morbidelli set a 1:38.929s to✅ move ahead by half a tenth.

🎶Quartararo remained in second place while KTM’s 🐎renewed form from Mugello continued with Miguel Oliveira taking third position.
