The cloudless sky and significantly cleaner track surface meant that it took no time whatsoever for Marc Marquez to bring down Friday’s benchmark before things settled for long runs on different combinations of the soft and medium compounds almost throughout the field. Fabio Quartararo brought some excitement in the final 15 minutes with some fresh rubber helping him help himself to the first 1:39 time of the weekend and laying down the gauntlet ahead of the top ten shoothout. Alex Rins wasn’t particularly impressed and swiftly went a couple hundredths of a second faster.
