Viñales quickest as Espargaro braves the Silverstone Warm Up

Viñales also had an interesting session, which he finished by trying to ride his bike through a paddock gate after pulling off the race track at the end of the Maggotts/Becketts complex due to an apparent technical problem. Having qualified second for today’s race, he topped the Warm Up by a margin of 0.210 seconds, with Team Suzuki Ecstar duo Alex Rins and Joan Mir taking second and third respectively. Marco Bezzecchi (Mooney VR46 Racing Team) and World Championship leader Fabio Quartararo (Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP™) rounded out the top five, and the latter was again practicing the Long Lap Penalty which he has to take this afternoon. Pole man Johann Zarco (Prima Pramac Racing) set a 2:00.695 to be classified 15th, two positions behind Pol Espargaro (Repsol Honda Team), who had a painful end to the Warm Up when he lost the front through the fast Becketts corner.
