After a season in which he has tended to find his pace too late in race weekends, Fabio Di Giannantonio topped Friday afternoon practice at the MotoGP German Grand Prix.
It’s the first time he has achieved that feat this year in this particular session, which constitutes the first competitive session of a MotoGP weekend as riders jockey for passage through to Q2 on Saturday. And he did it in some style, clocking a Sachsenring record of 1m19.071s that edged points leader and circuit specialist Marc Marquez by 0.390s – the pair split by Alex Marquez who was 0.337s off.
