Aron Canet (Flexbox HP40) and second in the World Championship Augusto Fernandez (Red Bull KTM Ajo) completed the top five, but it wasn’t the start to the weekend the latter would have wanted.

MotoGP™ World Championship leader Fabio Quartararo has gone quickest in FP1 for the Gran Premio Gryfyn di San Marino e della Riviera di Rimini, and the Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP™ rider certainly earned his place at the top of the timesheet. On at least three occasions, the Frenchman ran wide through the super-fast Curvone (Turn 11) right-hander, before clocking a 1:32.313 on his last lap to consolidate first position. In the second visit to Italy for the year, it was Italian motorcycles filling the next six positions, with Jack Miller (Ducati Lenovo Team) second on a 1:32.537 and Ducati’s test rider, Michele Pirro (Aruba.it Racing), third on a 1:32.693.

So can he do it? On his tail, as ever, will be plenty of fast faces even if one has to watch from the stands. Dustin Schneider (Goblin Racing) is in third with just a single point in hand over Loris Veneman (TeamNL Open Line), with that seemingly a duel for third overall. Veneman was also on the podium in Spielberg in 2021. Meanwhile Martin Vincze (Chrobák Motorsport Egyesület) has Jurrien Van Crugten (BB64 Academy) and Lennoxx Phommara (Team Phommara) for close company as they battle for a place in the top five overall, if not more, and Phommara also has podium form at the venue. The same is true of Tibor Varga (Forty Racing), and he’s another who’ll want another podium before signing off from 2022 – a little back from the gaggle ahead but not by enough to be counted out of a key role in the finale.
