A day of gathering data for Luca Marini and the Repsol Honda Team as they worked to overcome changeable track conditions in Misano. Joan Mir withdraws.

Luca Marini was once again the lone representative of the Repsol Honda Team, the Italian working away and gathering much needed data undeterred. Track conditions at the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli would vary throughout the day, grip dropping as the temperature at the track climbed ever higher. Qualifying in 21st left the local rider with work to do in the Sprint.

Head down when the lights went out, Marini made an aggressive start to try and break away from Bradl and Nakagami early. The Sprint in Misano would see a number of riders receive track limit warning, the #10 keeping it under control as he crossed the line in 18th.

Joan Mir was hopeful of returning to the track on Saturday after an evening of improvements but with his condition worsening in the morning, and following the advice of the medical team, he withdrew from the remainder of the San Marino GP. His goal is to return for the Monday Test.

Sunday’s full-length San Marino Grand Prix is scheduled to start at 14:00 Local Time and run across 27 laps.

Luca Marini

18th

“I think the conditions on track changed a lot today. In the morning the grip was really good, even for us where it’s usually one of our weak points but in the race with the higher temperature the grip was less. The rear dropped more than I was expecting in the Sprint. Overall, it was a tough day and we have to keep on working to see what we can do for tomorrow in the long race.”
