Moto3, GP Misano (San Marino) 2022, qualifying results: Oncu pole, Foggia 7th, Garcia 13th
A few drops of rain and the balance of power are upset. At the moment of truth, on the Misano le rain clouds that loomed threateningly unload a few drops of water, enough to free the first row out of the tests (played with the sun) free tilt. Oncu thanks him, he goes to a wedding in the rain, and takes the fourth pole in Moto 3, ahead of Daniel Holgado and the increasingly convincing Diego Moreira, Brazilian pride reduce by two sixth places. The drizzle, which however did not require the use of specific tires, has upset the plans of Guevara despite the fact that the change of tires in the middle of the session, and the great pace found in free practice, he had to settle for the second row with the fifth place. Still better than Dennis Foggia who dominated in practice and ran the qualification without the confidence shown in the dry. Dennis, who most of all needs to aim for the big result, to keep the title open, will start the race from third row with the seventh time. Hoping at this point for the grace of the weather to regain the momentarily lost confidence. Wish shared with Sasaki who had closed the morning session with the third best chronological and then found himself at the end of qualifying even in the middle of the sixth rowforcing himself to make a complicated comeback on Sunday (moreover within his reach, recalling what he did in Austria, where he won despite the double penalties served in the race).
Garcia 13th, Migno and Suzuki do not shine
Wet or dry asphalt nothing has changed for Sergio Garcia, the other major contender for the title who did not find the best feeling with the Romagna track in any condition. He did not shine in practice with the sun, the Gas Gas driver, Guevara’s teammate, and closed the qualifying in thirteenth place, ahead of Riccardo Rossi brilliant in the first few minutes, but fell five minutes from the end. After Foggia, the best of Italians becomes like this Andrea Mignoninth, but without the explosiveness one would expect on his home track, he shouldn’t either Tatsu Suzuki brilliant ah. The Japanese who moved to the Riviera for a few years did not go beyond the sixteenth time.
