Rain is coming, say the circuit meteorologists. But the track will remain almost dry. The two French drivers are in Q1, Morbidelli, Espargaro, Miller… We have to go quickly before the rain. Lots of hard front tires. The drops arrive from the first lap, it shakes hard on slicks! You must complete the lap to get a time. The rain flags are out. Miller and Espargaro lead the charge. Zarco goes up two! But Raoul Fernandez steals the right place… Stand for everyone. We come out on slicks. Morbidelli takes the lead, Quartararo is two! And he remains so, behind Morbidelli. Miller will start fourteen, Zarco sixteen. Q2 then. Let’s go, on slicks, everyone in Hard/Soft except Martin on medium. Rain flags waving. First round for Marquez ahead of Morbidelli and Binder. Mark whose front moves like the bow of a trawler! Acosta goes two ahead of Martin, Bagnaia not at all in the game returns to the pits. The rain has calmed down. Martin did the ram blow to Marquez, big blow from behind, classic because of this aero bullshit. The rain has stopped. Acosta and Bastianini take power. Bagnaia remains twelve, surprising but the track is wet, not necessarily his thing. Neither does Martin, seventh time. Bagnaia finally reacts, he goes up two behind Acosta. Then he is on provisional pole, Marquez steals his pompom… He even sets himself the absolute lap record! For Martin, on the other hand, a nightmare, ninth time and a fall to boot! Acosta has gone two, Bagnaia is still on the front line. But Marquez’s turn is canceled, well done commissioners, he is nine! And pole is for Acosta, ahead of Bagnaia and Vinales. Then, second row for Bastianini, Binder, Morbidelli, third row for Diggia, Bezzecchi, Marc Marquez, fourth row for Alex Marquez, Martin and Quartararo. There you have it, sprint and GP are settled, on the green carpet! We saw Marquez’s bike go green, it must be good for a judge to take a pole… Martin is behind, Bagnaia has a crazy move to play…
