Big Saturday with qualifying and racing

MotoGP FT2: Provisional results

The field on the box. The current standings see Francisco Bagnaia ahead of Pol Espargaro, Marc Marquez, Jorge Martin and Maverick Vinales. Pedro Acosta, Fabio Quartararo, Marco Pizzicchi, Enea Bastianini and Jack Miller occupy the second half of the top ten. 13 riders are within a second of each other.

MotoGP FT2: Pol Espargaro on the front

Most drivers chose the medium front tyre and the soft rear tyre. The order changes practically every round. After four laps, Pol Espargaro is just ahead of Francisco Bagnaia and Marc Marquez with a time of 1:29.407 minutes.

MotoGP FT2: Diggia must sit out

Fabio Di Giannantonio, who is in the pits, is condemned to watch, but after falling in training yesterday and dislocating his left shoulder, he cannot continue racing this weekend.

MotoGP FT2: Final Practice

In the next 30 minutes, the MotoGP riders will have time to make final adjustments to the set-up before qualifying and the race later in the afternoon. The clouds have now completely cleared and the weather is sunny. At 23 degrees it is cooler than yesterday.

Moto2 T2: Garcia stays in front

In the last few minutes some riders can improve. But nobody can overtake Sergio Garcia and Philippe Salak. Tony Arbolino moves up to third. Aaron Canet is fourth. Ai Ogura remains fifth despite a crash.

Manuel Gonzalez, Joe Roberts, Celestino Vitti, Darren Binder and Somkiat Chantra completed the top 10. Behind them, Jake Dixon also made it. Alonso Lopez, Deniz Ongo and Marcos Ramirez took one more lap. However, the result is subject to change. Because there was some hanging around in turn nine, there is an investigation.

Moto2 T2: Ogura in the gravel

The corners had some falls on Friday. Now Ai Ogura has fallen there too. He hit the asphalt hard, but nothing seemed to happen to him. However, the red flag was waved because there was now a lot of gravel on the road. There were still about seven minutes left.

Moto2 T2: Garcia and Salak finished

Ai Ogura's best time is history once again. Both Philippe Salak and world championship leader Sergio Garcia were driving faster than the Japanese who now only sits third. Garcia set a new course record with a 1:33.461.

The vast majority of the field improved from Friday, with only Aaron Canet and Marcos Ramirez still in the top 10 in Friday times.

Moto2 T2: Ogura still going strong

Also in this session, Ai Ogura sets the tone early on. He corrects his best time to 1:33.673. There are already some early surges behind this. Jake Dixon has pushed Aaron Canet from second.

Moto2 T2: Weather improves

The cloud cover has opened up over the road and the sun is out. Moto2 conditions will also remain dry for now. Ai Ogura was the measure of things here on Friday. He finished the day with a best time of 1:33.943 minutes ahead of Aaron Canet and Manuel Gonzalez.

Moto3 T2: Kelso with a record

First the fall, then the track record: Joel Kelso was allowed to fly again at the end and is the only driver to exceed the 1:40 mark. With a 1:39.921 minutes he leads the session ahead of David Alonso. José Antonio Rueda is third thanks to his best time on Friday.

Colin Viger and Angel Piquéras rounded out the top five. Behind them were Daniel Holgado, Stefano Nepa, David Munoz, Ivan Ortola and Ryusei Yamanaka. Joel Esteban had the highest form of the late stage but finished 11th. Jakob Rolstein, Xabi Zurutuza and Mathieu Bertel also qualified directly for Q2.

Moto3 T2: Next Incident

Joel Kelso got hit in the corner. But he got back on his machine and can continue. In the meantime he will get faster. Daniel Holgado improved from ninth to sixth.

Moto3 T2: Stop

With just over ten minutes left on the clock, almost the entire field is in the pits. Tatsuki Suzuki crashed at Turn 4 but is fine. Not much has changed in the world rankings so far. Even ninth place is the same as yesterday. However, the latest hunt for times is likely to cause some shifts.

Moto3 T2: First improvements

Yesterday José Antonio Rueda was fastest with a time of 1:40.171 minutes ahead of David Alonso and Colin Viger. We haven't got back to that pace yet.

But there are already some improvements compared to yesterday. Angel Piqueras moved up to tenth overall and is currently the driver with the most improvement so far.

Moto3 T2: Here we go

Yesterday evening and during the night it rained and thundered in Spielberg. But at the moment it is dry and the Moto3 field can use the slicks for their training. However, there is a rather thick cloud cover hanging over the road. It is possible that there will be rain during the day.

Full program

It's Saturday of the MotoGP weekend in Spielberg and that means we can expect a packed programme. Because there are not only three qualifying sessions, but also three races with sprints and MotoE races.

Before that, the last few morning training sessions for the small classes were all about getting straight into the second quarter. As always, we follow each session live on our feed.
