Relentless Francesco Bagnaia, unstoppable Ducati. The Piedmontese continues his march towards the world comeback also on Saturday of the Aragon GP, author of a wonderful pole position (the fifth of the season) with which tomorrow he is a candidate for another race as protagonist: the fifth consecutive victory is also possible here . And it would probably mean recovering many more points to world leader Fabio Quartararo, who with his Yamaha did not go beyond the sixth time which is worth the second row. Confirmation of Ducati’s superiority is the second time of Pecco’s teammate Jack Miller, second. And the third by Enea Bastianini. Aleix Espargaro with Aprilia is fourth, then ahead of Quartararo there is also Johann Zarco with the Ducati Pramac.

The session did not see Joan Mir among the protagonists. The Suzuki Spaniard had to forfeit due to pain in his right ankle injured in Austria. Suzuki has made it known that Mir will not even race in Japan next weekend. “Joan retired from the Aragon GP after battling the pain in his injured right ankle – reads the Suzuki note – he was authorized to race in Aragon by his own doctors and by the medical staff of the circuit, he had high hopes, but after the first three free practice sessions he noticed a severe lack of mobility and an increase in pain. “The driver was very sorry:” I had pain and little sensitivity in my foot. The doctors told me before the weekend to try, but I struggle and since I am not playing the World Cup it makes no sense to force. With so few days even in Japan things would not have changed so much so I decided not to go. Let’s see if I will be better for Thailand “.
