Catalunya MotoGP: Nakagami fastest in warm-up, Vinales second but crashes

Takaaki Nakagami topped a second consecutive Sunday morninꦗg MotoGP warm-up session for LCR Honda.
The Japanese rider was fastest during the equivalent session seven days ago in Mugello, but Nakagami will be hoping for a much better race in Barcelona than the one he had in Italy, whཧich involved a crash late on.
Nakagami posted a best lap of 1:39.783s - less than half a tenth quicker than Maverick Vinales who🃏 suffered a bizarre fall late on.
Vinales was on a slower lap and lost the front at turn seven. Third fastest was Franco Morbidelli who continued to show race pace that could see him challenge for a podium during today’s race.♉&𓆉nbsp;
Second in the championship, Johann Zarco was fourth quickest ahead of his🔜 front row start, while fellow Frenchman and championship leader Fabio Quartararo was fifth.
Quartararo spent th꧋e warm-up session trying the hard rear tyre - something he said he would do before making a decision between that or the medium.
Honda’s good start to race day saw Pol Espargaro ✤🦂and Marc Marquez secure top ten spots with sixth and eighth.
Seventh was Francesco Bagnaia who will start the Catalunya Grand Prix from ni🧸nth place, while Joan Mir and Valentino Rossi rounded out the top ten in ninth and tenth respectively.
A few riders headed out on wet tyres at the beginning of warm-up in order to scrub a set in should it rain ཧlater on. The riders who did were Marc M💎arquez, Aleix Espargaro and Nakagami.
Jack Miller was 14th fastest but also ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚmade a bike swap halfway thro🌄ugh the session.
