Final Practice
Raul Fernandez keeps Trackhouse on top of the MotoGP timesheets during final practice at Brno.
After team-mate Ai Ogura surprised by being fastest on Friday, Fernandez put his RS-GP on top on Saturday morning.
Fernandez defied sickness to finish a massive 0.8s clear of Ducati’s reigning champion and defending Brno winner Marc Marquez.
However, Marquez stayed on old soft rubber, while Fernandez was among those to prepare for qualifying with a fresh-tyre time attack.
Further back, KTM’s Pedro Acosta notably used a medium rear tyre throughout the session for sixth.
Qualifying 1, for those outside the top ten on Friday, including Aprilia’s title contender Jorge Martin, will now begin.
Martin ran off track while practising the penalty loop this morning, perhaps unsighted by team-mate Marco Bezzecchi, who was on the outside of Turn 7 to let other riders pass.
Bezzecchi was eighth and Martin just 14th this morning.

Jorge Martin has a double lap penalty to serve in Sunday’s race for triggering a five-rider pile-up, also involving team-mate and world championship leader Marco Bezzecchi, at the start of the Hungarian grand prix.
Alex Marquez is making a MotoGP return after suffering collarbone and vertebra fractures in a huge accident at Catalunya a month ago.
Johann Zarco remains absent due to knee ligament injuries at the same event. The Frenchman is again replaced at LCR by Cal Crutchlow, standing in for a third event.
