Fresh from his first MotoGP top-three finish since 2021 in Saturday’s San Marino Sprint, home star 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Franco Morbidelli set the pace in warm-up at Misano.

T💞he Pramac rider♛, debuting special peacock helmet colours, moved to the top with a 1m 31.687s on his sixth and final lap, using the same medium front and soft rear tyre choice from the Sprint.

Marc Marquez, wearing a special white retro Gresini livery, left the pits to scrub in a set ꦏof wet tyres at the start of the session - due to a risk of rain - but was forced to park his GP23 due to a technical issue.

The Aragon winner got a scooter ride back to the pits, jump⭕ed on his spare bike and snatched second on the timesheets by just 0.038s on his final😼 lap (soft front, medium rear).

Marquez, who r༺ode from n𒅌inth to fifth in the Sprint, split the Pramac Ducatis this morning with title leader and Sprint winner Jorge Martin in third (medium tyres front and rear).

Meanwhile, after a disappointing defeat at the hands of Martin ಌon Saturday, local star Francesco Bagnaia was seen shaking his head in frustration a♚fter running wide on his way to tenth place (medium front, soft rear tyres).

"Without painkillers I cannot ride well," he said afterwards, referring to the Aragon injuries. "In any case, we will be prepared [with🐼 painkillers] this afternoon. The wind is different, the conditions are different today, but we can be really competitive."

The reigning double champion heads a front row alongside Morbidelli and Marco Bezzecch🐠i, with Martin at the head of row two.

Maverick Vinales provided some hope after a tough home weekend for A♑prilia with fourth (medium, medium), just ahead of Yamaha’s Fabio Quartararo (medium, medium).

Alex Marquez, Pedro Acosta and Jack Miller completed the top eight, with Bezzecchi – an early faller on Saturday - just🌟 16th this morning.

The soft rear tyre was used by all riders (with the medium front) for the Sprint,🎃 but the medium rear was expec😼ted to be preferred by most for the grand prix.

However, the cooler overcast conditions compared to Satur𝓰day mean more riders might be willing to gamble on the soft. Enea Bastianini is among those thought to be seriously considering the soft, using that tyre again on his way🌌 to ninth this morning.
