Championship leader Marc Marquez topped the times in yesterday’s practice for this weekend’s season-closing Valencia MotoGP. |
The Honda rookie holds a 13-point lead over his fellow Spaniard, Yamaha’s defending champion Jorge Lorenzo.
Marquez topped the time sheets after the two sessions with a best lap of 1min 31.220sec, followed by teammate Dani Pedrosa (at 0.066sec) and Lorenzo (0.158sec).
Lorenzo reported: “This afternoon was very windy so it was very difficult
to make the same lap time of the
morning but we managed to improve it a little bit.
“We adjusted the bike a little electronically and also the suspension. We are quite close to everyone and ready to keep working tomorrow.”
The 20-year-old Marquez is aiming to become the youngest ever MotoGP champion tomorrow but he has seen his lead whittled down by Lorenzo’s late charge.
He can seal the title should he finish fourth or better at the Ricardo Tormo circuit.
