Miller, Elías and Lorenzo the fastest in the Le Mans warm up

The World Motorcycle Championship began Sunday’s action with the warm ups of all three categories, with the start delayed due to track conditions, as it had rained overnight and the surface was completely wet and very tricky. Without a doubt, it was not going to be easy to take part in this fourth race of the season.

The first riders to take to the circuit were the Moto3 riders, with Jack Miller the fastest, setting a lap time of 1:55.728, while Miguel Oliveira was just over a tenth of a second behind in second place. The top 10 was completed by Mcphee 3rd, Rins 4th, Masbou 5th, Viñales 6th, Ajo 7th, Kornfeil 8th, Sissis 9th and Khairuddin 10th. The remaining Spanish riders finished 11th I. Viñales, 12th Márquez, 16th Salom, 28th Guevara and 31st Carrasco.

After them we saw the Moto2 riders in action, with our Toni Elías being the fastest in these conditions. The 24 seems to feel good in this situation, setting a time of 1:50.186 and leaving his main rival, Ricky Cardús, 0.119s behind. The top 10 was completed by Zarco 3rd, Rea 4th, De Angelis 5th, Terol 6th, Luthi 7th, Simón 8th, Smith 9th and Kallio 10th. The rest of the Spanish riders were placed as follows: Espargaró 12th, Torres 18th, Pons 21st, Moncayo 26th and Rabat 33rd.

Closing the warm up session with MotoGP, Jorge Lorenzo was the fastest with a lap time of 1:44.307, leaving Crutchlow almost half a second behind. The Yamaha rider therefore has pace in these conditions, but it will not be easy to deal with the track as it is, and the 99 even had several scares and small slides. Behind them, the top 10 was completed by Márquez 3rd, Hayden 4th, Bradl 5th, Dovi 6th, Espargaró 7th, Pedrosa 8th, Rossi 9th and Hernández 10th. The rest of our riders finished 11th Bautista and 20th Barberá.

Coming up shortly.
