Catalunya MotoGP - Free Practice (4) Results

Iannone leads final practice for the Catalunya MotoGP, memorable for a huge save by Marquez through the final corner and a fast pace by Lorenzo on the soft tyres.

All leading riders tried the soft rear tyre at the start of the session, but couldn't match the pace and consistency of Ducati rider.

Marquez then switched to hard tyres and came close to beating Lorenzo's best, before his huge save, but must now take part in Qualifying 1 (starting next) after being left in 11th this morning.
