Enea Bastianini led this morning’s MotoGP Catalan GP warm-up. This was the final session to prepare for the race later this afternoon in Barcelona, with lap times being of little relevance. Miguel Oliveira finished in 20th place.
The first leader of the session was Raúl Fernández (Trackhouse Racing/Aprilia), ahead of Franco Morbidelli (Prima Pramac/Ducati). Some riders had their laps cancelled for track limits violations, including Jorge Martín (Prima Pramac/Ducati), Aleix Espargaró, and Maverick Viñales (Aprilia).
On the second flying laps, Fernández solidified his position, being chased by Martín. Jack Miller (Red Bull KTM) climbed to third place. Viñales was leading 2m30s from the end, after finally getting a valid lap. Fernández dropped to fifth.
Next, it was Bastianini (Ducati) who set the fastest time, just 0.079s ahead of Viñales, with Martín moving up to third and Pedro Acosta (Red Bull GasGas Tech3/KTM) positioning himself in fourth within the last minute.
No one could dethrone Bastianini, but Acosta improved towards the end to be only 0.027s behind. Viñales was third, followed by Marc Márquez (Gresini/Ducati) and Martín closing out the top five.
As for Oliveira, the Portuguese rider from Trackhouse Racing had a discreet and not time-focused participation, finishing in 20th place. A bit further down was Espargaró, in 22nd place 1.520s off the top of the leaderboard.
