To compare, Bezzecchi was able to set three more 1:39s than Quartararo ahead of him. For 11 laps, starting on Lap 7, Bezzecchi set 10 1:39s – the outlier being a 1:40.008 – and five of those were in the 1:39.6 bracket. That’s very similar pace to what Aleix Espargaro, Jorge Martin (Pramac Racing), Alex Rins (Team Suzuki Ecstar), Joan Mir (Team Suzuki Ecstar), Francesco Bagnaia (Ducati Lenovo Team), Brad Binder (Red Bull KTM Factory Racing), Maverick Viñales (Aprilia Racing) and Quartararo were running. Two of those are premier class World Champions. All eight of them are race winners in MotoGP™.
