ÁLEX MÁRQUEZ TOP HONDA ON DAY ONE AT MISANO22 October 2021 | Emilia Romagna GP PracticeÁlex Márquez finished the opening day of free practice for the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix as the leading Honda bike following a rain-affected day at Misano. The premier class have gathered for the second race weekend of the season in Rimini and the LCR Honda CASTROL rider showed real potential as he just missed out on the top 10.
With a fully wet track to contend with in FP1, Álex suffered an early fall but was still able to take 14th position. Conditions were more favourable in FP2 as sunshine dried out the circuit and the LCR man only dropped out of the top 10 in the closing stages, ending in 13th spot and just ahead of his brother Marc.Álex Márquez – 13th (1’42.879)“Wet track all day today. During FP1, on the second lap, I had a huge crash, but I was not injured and the bike wasn’t damaged too badly, so it didn’t really change our plans. In the morning, I had a good feeling, although I wasn’t able to be really fast in the end. In the afternoon, it was wet again, but the track was drying lap by lap and at the end I was trying to push – while in the top 10 – but I wasn’t able to improve on the last lap and I finished outside the top 10 by one tenth. Tomorrow, we need to make a step, it looks like FP3 will be half wet and half dry, so all possibilities are open and we have to be ready for everything.”
