Tris Yamaha in the classification for the Grand Prix of Catalonia. Which means monopoly of the first row. It had already happened in Misano (where there was even a poker game) and it was confirmed for the second consecutive track as the motorcycle to beat is a terrible showdown. The house of Iwata reached the first two positions with the Petronas team, thanks to the stratospheric time of Franco Morbidelli and an always positive Fabio Quartararo on Saturday. Third Valentino Rossi, who will go to Petronas from 2021 but has shown that he can also do well in the Factory team. A little step back for Dissident Viñales: Top gun he has never been able to attack the front row, but with fifth place he is still struggling intensely to repeat himself after the success of Misano-2. These are the words of the two official Yamaha flag bearers.
GP Catalonia 2020, the starting grid
Valentino Rossi (3rd, 1: 39,129): “It is a great achievement to be in the front row. Today is a special day, because I signed the contract for next year, I am very happy. We have worked well since yesterday, and today since FP4 I have had a good pace, even with used tires. So I knew I could do a good lap, but it’s not always easy. I am very happy with the front row. But the most important thing is that the bike is competitive.. All the Yamaha riders have a good rhythm, so we have to make a good start, do everything right from the start and then we’ll see. I am competitive and strong, I can be fast throughout the race.. But in MotoGP it is always difficult and things can change quickly from one day to the next.“.
Maverick Viñales (5th, 1: 39,371): “The start is always crucial and fifth place puts us in front of some difficulties. But not a bad result considering we had a lot of tire problems this afternoon. Tomorrow we will try to go one step further. I think maybe we can find something really good in terms of racing. In the rhythm we are fine, we are very consistent and this is the most important thing. What we understand is that we have a good pace in the last ten or twelve laps, which is important because this track is very demanding on the rear tire. We will see tomorrow, but we have confidence for the race“.
