German MotoGP: Quartararo fastest in warm-up, Espargaro leads Honda 2-3

Second on the grid for today’s German MotoGP, Fabio Quartararo made the perfect start to race day by topping morning warm-up𝔍 at Sachsenring.
The Monster Energy Yamaha rider headed out on a used hard front (10 laps) and a medium rear (22 laps) before staging a late char🧜ge.
Quartararo’s time of 1:21.341s dislodged Pol Espargaro who spent much of the session fastest from fellow Honda rider Takaaki Nakagami. The two Honda riders remained 🅺in that order and finished 2-3.
Starting one place behind Q𓆉uartararo in today’s German Grand Prix is Aleix Espargaro who endured a rough warm-up session.
The Aprilia rider first crashed at turn 5, before running off-track at turn 1 on his second bike. Espa🧜rgar🍃o did manage to set a time good enough for tenth position though.
Joan Mir was back inside the top ten after a disastrous qualifying se🌟ssion. The Suzuki rider has🎉 had good race pace so far this weekend, but one lap performance continues to hold the world champion back.
Like Mir, it was a much better start to race day for the Yamahas of Fra🌳nco Morbidelli and Maverick Vinales.
Morbidelli was fifth fastest, while Vinales was one place further back in sixth. Francesco Bagnaia was the top Ducati in seventh position, as🐲 Jack Mille♍r and pole man Johann Zarco could only manage 19th and 16th respectively.
Marc Mar﷽quez was eighth quickest aboard the second factory Honda machine, with Jorge Martin ninth fastest.
The cooler conditions seen in warm-up compared to most 🌳of the weekend so far could be a sign of unpredictab🃏le weather that's forecasted for the race.
