Atypical Q1 for Repsol Honda

As had occured on Friday, the Repsol Honda Team had just one rider available on Saturday at the San Marino Grand Prix. Despite Joan Mir’s stomach complaint improving overnight, he was declared unfit to rejoin the rest of the premier class riders on track.

Luca Marini was on his own, and the Italian achieved 21st place in the second morning free practice session, with a best time of 01:32.550, close to the time he set on Friday afternoon in Practice.

In Q1, he consolidated 21st position on the grid with a best time of 01:31.923, his fastest lap of the entire weekend so far.
