Live Timing
The Assen weekend comes alive with the pre-qualifying session that, as always, will assign direct access to Q2. FP1 confirmed how closely contested the battle at the top is at this moment, with Bezzecchi managing to finish the session ahead of an always fast Bagnaia.
Third fastest time for Martìn in front of Di Giannantonio and Ogura and Fernandez, with the Japanese and Spanish riders bringing the total of Aprilia bikes in the top six to four. Marc Marquez suffered slightly more than expected this morning, experiencing a crash without any consequences and finishing only 10th at the end of the session.
As always, it's crucial today to secure a spot in the top ten immediately to avoid having to go through the challenge of Q1, which can always turn into a trap.
