00:00still believe so it's very important the rider it's important that he still believes that maybe
00:04he can do it very very hard but uh we will do our best thank you thanks jack thanks to
00:11pamela
00:11let lewis run through the grid interesting tire choice from the uh starting right in second lewis
00:16yes ralph fernandez the information was that he's got the medium rear tire there let's see if that
00:19changes over the course of the next 15 minutes it's an all-day front row's mentioned all jucati
00:23second row dijan antonio marrera and morbidelli together on road three then we have a costa
00:27and a fashion union on the first of the ktms and alex rins on the first of the yamahas
00:31ayagora missed out q1 he's 13 there to bradvin and juan mia marini 16th head of jack miller fabio
00:36quattoraro not a good weekend for the frenchman on for the yamaha magrini ales top of rascati oglu
00:41and mccaini tiro on row seven and completing the grid revs up lights out and we're racing in the
00:47screen here then in the grand prix vitale it's a fully start by mar marquez on the factory ducati he's
00:53already going to try and split the brilliance on the one down to the first corner going the long way
00:56look at marquez how late is he breaking on the factory he's gonna leave he's passed all these
00:59prints he's got a great start super super late on the break so marquez leaves from fold and mark
01:04obedecki was just way too cautious look at marrera up in fourth place on the lcr honda
01:08ral fernandez carves up the inside of marquez martin also through the prettiest fighting back yeah
01:12pushing and shoving already marrera fancying an attack now on marquez in two turn four and five he's
01:17made it through this is lovely by marrera up into p3 he's getting five places already as he dropped
01:21now down through casanova and sunny for the first time magic from marrera the pole starts it's back
01:25to p6 now that's an early nightmare for bez from that dream bomb vision and look at ralph and agnes
01:30that talks you then the only two in this grade on this grip that the medium rear type engine and
01:34ralph and agnes already trying to break away down we go into scarperia for the third time he was
01:38almost three and a half heads clear and martin through split two yeah let's get a look at that first
01:42corner again because bears had the inside line as they were going three widest though one just breaks i think
01:45too early and got absolutely swapped now mark marquez loses another one clearly understandably
01:50cautious on this first lap of the race it shows from real to marquez into the final corner goes
01:54besaki now to rely on some slipstream and some of that frames poked from the factory and through the
01:58fastest motorcycle in grand prix history or bez needs all of that through the horse power right
02:01now doesn't he like why in the box here rather than and lift the bleeds that'll digress taking
02:04pastini behind that but hey as martin marquez has actually gone on the attack down the main street
02:08he's coming back past jan antonio so martin marquez sideways into turn one he's going to struggle to get
02:12that one stops and digerry takes it decelerating speed that one of the k champions has gone wide into
02:16the first corner as well he's scrubbing up almost 300 kilometers an hour and about 200
02:19and fighting for his motor gp future right now is fernandez he's on the big big threat lots of
02:24talk about miguel potentially uh swooping in and taking his seeds in track house a brilliant next
02:28year a first sprint victory will be awesome as far as fernandez is concerned a lot of given because
02:33we know the hoy martin is the undisputed spring king in the gp as now marrera starts to drop back
02:38into
02:38the clutches of fabio the jan antonio if you might actually be closer to attack marrera on the plates in
02:42the 15. besaki searly is though on the inside of mar marquez it's going to be close they're going to
02:46lean on
02:47each other right there marquez is going right out of the marbles on the outside of 15. besaki eases
02:51on through so bez then in recovery mode back up into p5 he's got to try and keep marquez behind
02:55me though now on the main straight mark from so wide we'll get a massive one on him down the
02:58main
02:58straight crucial moment is this for marco but you can see the top of the screen side by side but
03:02besaki is clear of the reigning world champion so crucially up into fifth place problem for
03:06bez though is he's over two sessions yesterday he set the pace in fp2 this morning missed out clearly
03:10in a pretty eventful qualifying for the number 49 but he can't find a way through as yet on
03:14marrera rookie what rookie this is also from the brazilian costa still ahead of banyai so banyai
03:19is now ahead of aguro and clearly into the top set he's just at the back of the picture he's
03:23trying to close in on this trio that we're riding on board with this is a costa looking ahead of
03:26basti nini and ahead of him is aldeguer as dija antonio now into arabiata one just get the move done
03:31on diogo marrera that's a bold move that is a bold move down the hill into arabiata one
03:35step ahead of this betseki and marquez have also joined that dija antonio marrera battle betseki did
03:39his personal best on a 45-4 on the last lap not as fast as the two aprilius right at
03:43the very front
03:43but he's now brought him right into play with his battle for the final position on the sprint podium
03:48whatever happens it's been a fantastic weekend so far 49 before bears to claw his way back through
03:52on the brazilian the gap at the front between for al fernandez is really strong in the second split
03:56really really good in that second sector and looks again he's taken two tenths two and a half tenths out
04:00of
04:00martin through split two the gap now six and a half tenths and the day the start to be qualifying
04:04one for
04:05ralph and his boy is it turning around in a hurry for him as this ktf battle continues they are
04:09starting to uh fall back into the clutches of peco banjaya who is in that tenth place he also did
04:13a
04:13personal best last time around but he's trying to get himself back into the sprint points here when
04:17we were thinking of banjaya it's right around it's marrera who he picks off trying to pick up some
04:20track well that dirty turban there there we are marrera on suddenly that honda and squeeze that
04:24handful of gas out of the final corner ralph and that is only seven tenths clear of why martin that
04:29is the
04:29biggest lead he's been able to establish so far in this sprint as acosta just passes ktf in the middle
04:34of
04:34sandinata that's not going to work out to try the block pass there on the beast for an air just
04:38cutting back to the inside the rear on that last lap was in the 46s i think it was three
04:42tenths slower
04:42than marmar came directly behind it four tenths lower than bett said oh that's an air that's you
04:46think he's gone down heavily that's a hard hard get up there for an air damn it was that the
04:50scar
04:50three while he had turned ten multiple barrel rolls there for an air that's going to really have
04:55shaken him up out his cage he was on the curb but he was unsettled from that wider line that
05:00he was
05:00trying to take it to scar faria you know settled that ktm and ended up getting a washing machine
05:04a job through the gravel trap 40 up on his feet frankie morbidelli while you're watching this
05:08was awesome for that honda and when you look at where the other hondas are in this spring to the
05:11moment we've got marini in 30 near in 17 of course calcourt slow as a replacement we shouldn't really
05:15judge him being down in 20th place that underlines just how good a job diogo marrera is currently doing
05:20it shows how important qualifying as well because from that third row they've really got a great start
05:24with super aggressive in the third sector and that was the platform that's setting himself up for this
05:28potential top six you have to say at the moment ral fernandez has got this one pretty comfortably
05:33covered off away martin has just not been able to get anywhere near you can't even look at the
05:37screens i'm sorry daryl we've still got about four we've got five and a half laps to go here
05:40in this italian sprint what a ride this will be i mean talk about perfect timing right at the stage
05:45of the scene the broad breeze no question of the talent on display here between marrera and mark
05:49marquez marrera's going to force mark to go the outside line but is mark going to be able to break
05:53ahead
05:53of marrera surely diogo's not going to barrel up the inside of the rating world champion from there
05:57they both going on but it's mark marquez who finally gets the move done these two know each
06:01other very very well their training partners back at home in spain mark marquez and has finally
06:05snatched away uh that fifth place there's martin over the line i was just under nine tenths of a
06:11second it's quite a launch it was it was a battle launch away by marco betseki at all but it
06:16was a
06:17stunning start by mark marquez look at marrera there in the middle picture he's already gained some ground
06:20from the third row he's in a good position at this point but martin and mark marquez is just completely
06:25out breaking but then marrera comes sitting at the inside of the world championship leader before
06:29he knows it he's down in fifth and mark marquez it didn't last long of course he was passed a
06:33few
06:33corners later but an extraordinary launch from fourth to the lead look at that what a shot what a shot
06:37that is four of rest going into that sandinato corner that was absolutely awesome around the next
06:42of the video because he's one of the four let's have to check where the gap between video and phase
06:46is
06:46yeah 1.7 seconds almost so i think it should be able to cover that one up mark is a
06:50full clear
06:50down between himself and that battle now raging between urrera alvegare a costal pepper bangla might
06:55get himself into that particular scrapbook soon as well well it's fair to say that marco beteki
06:59hasn't been in the spring so far has pitted and there's just looking absolutely awesome he has not
07:05put a single foot wrong has he had a green moto two champion of course a rider who thought he
07:11would have
07:11been a champion about it to himself alvegare is now taking away that sixth place that's come down quite
07:15dramatically between martin and fernandez through sector three at the end of sector two jorge martin
07:19was almost a second behind ralph landed your sprint leader and actually nowhere the gap came down to
07:24six tension center three and over the line he was down to under half a second jorge martin has switched
07:29into a full attack mode here hasn't he is fernandez just running out a little bit of a grip but
07:33now
07:33what was looking like a pretty comfortable saturday afternoon in the medulla sunshine for ralph
07:36and that there's might start to get very uncomfortable and just because you're on the medium
07:40rear thigh it doesn't mean you can't run out of grip late on of course you can also
07:42crucial moments here has fernandez just been given a bit of a hurry up that he's now going
07:46to heed and speed up himself or is he still on the limit and they're not able to really respond
07:50to
07:50this basically martin speeding up rather around fernandez slowing down fernandez did another low 46
07:54but it was martin dropping down to a 145 a which has now cracked up the pressure on fernandez yeah
08:00martin and the general antonio the only riders on that last circuit that were kicking themselves in
08:04those 145s now the guys already got through on morea and coming from a long long way back in the
08:08scarpe for rear goes pedro across to be at the inside line nothing that moran could do about
08:12that so marrera is fading late on it what about the back of the front just over half a second
08:16the gap between fernandez and martin yeah i was going to say raul responded but he's just keeping
08:20that consistent pace in the 146s martin was back in the 146s himself on that he's been getting loads of
08:25experience though not so far this year he's been mixing it with the very best at the front of
08:29spritzall grand prix so he'll take a lot of experience into the full grand prix here tomorrow but
08:33unfortunately jorge marrero has finally been bumped out of one place he's in peak 10. once again
08:38fernandez so on the final lap and from there the opportunities get quite limited for jorge martin
08:45martin is very very early to be thinking about and factoring in points of points on the championship
08:49but part of it must be thinking well back up to almost nine ten to the second surely surely ralph
08:54landers has this in his hands van yaa looks like he's got seventh place now in his hands but he
08:58could
08:58now break a costa as a costa operates himself no van yaa is the one who goes in hot as
09:02he caught a bit of the
09:02draft behind the ktm so a costa hands on to that seventh place aldeguer is also catching mark marquez
09:07on this final lap as van yaa does now lunge at the inside his favorite turn two move here at
09:11magello you've got to feel that 93 the reigning world champion might just be suffering a bit of
09:14late fatigue here since the le mans sprint he's had two separate surgeries on the right foot he
09:19definitely didn't that sprint high side in the le mans and also yet more surgery in the happy
09:22time since the circle over to mark marquez's right shoulder down the ears this is still an excellent
09:26performance of an excellent saturday as agura sends it on the inside of a costa down through
09:30casanova and sally that was a textbook that was beautiful of course these two have got very
09:35very recent history this time around after their last corner skirmish in barcelona they're going to
09:39make sure that that was a very squeaky thing he's now moving into the final sequence of corners
09:44corin tayo is now ticked off he has of course got a grand prix win under his name this though
09:48is a
09:49corner away as he exits beyond eti from being a first sprint win for ralph fernandez track after
09:53three this weekend i've got the special golf livery and there's been a golfing class this afternoon
09:57between ralph fernandez and the chasing pack because he powers out of the final corner from
10:02a historic first and putting a lock out of the front row it has quite simply been a faultless and
10:07flawless fernandez who wins the t-stone sprint here in mocello what a moment for ralph fernandez as he
10:12takes his first ever sprint success he does deny paul martine a 19th a sprint victory martine does take
10:19second fabio de gianantonio once again when there's big points at stake for the championship fights his way through
10:25from the seventh to third marco betseki at start there are points for mark marquez an excellent
10:30fifth aldergear rounds out in top six banger a good and a costa play the points for him
10:34princess yoga moraro of course at one stage was as high as third he has to set up for 10th
10:38over
10:38the line but ralph fernandez well we know that he's fighting for his brother gp future and he has just
10:44sent out an almighty message to a brilliant management how dare you replace me in 2027 it's all smiles it's
10:51all
10:51high-fives and handshakes now between massimo rivula and david a rivio but that was one of the best
10:57rides i'll say that he's sat in there very important night back to my sprint podium for digia his third
11:04sprint podium of the season but what a ride by ralph fernandez absolutely sensational
