Clouds and lower temperatures at the Misano circuit made for slightly different conditions than the last two days. Some weather forecasts predict rain showers for the afternoon which would shake up the MotoGP field a bit.
Alvaro finished the warm up in 13th position. Behind the top five riders there’s a small gap, but the rest of the field is again very close together and if all riders can keep their pace up, it should make for some very interesting racing later today.
