2022 The MotoGP World Motorcycle Championship 19th branch will be held this week (October 21-23) at the Sepang (Sepang) Racecourse in Malaysia . The previous 2021 and 2020 Malaysian competitions were suspended due to the impact of the epidemic.
The Gresini Racing MotoGP team supported by the Fujian Youli Enterprise YOU-ALL, two drivers, Enea Bastianini of Car No. 23 and Fabio Di Giannantonio of Car No. 49, are all driving the MotoGP-level racing car on this track in Sepang for the first time.
Sepang Racing Park was built in 1998 and is a symbolic symbol of the development of Malaysian motorsports. The main track is 5,543 meters long, with a total of 15 curves (five left bends and ten right bends), and the maximum straight road length is 920 meters. The previous lap record of the MotoGP level was 1 minute 58.303 seconds (2019), and the maximum speed record was 339.6 km/h.
Yesterday weekend (October 22), the MotoGP level conducted the last two exercises (FP3, FP4) and qualifying competitions (Q1, Q2).
FP3, Bastanini ran the sixth fastest best lap of 1 minute 59.003 seconds, about 0.8 seconds faster than Friday's time, which allowed him to go straight to Q2. When it arrived at Q2, he ran a lap of 1 minute 58.246 seconds, with a broken record, with a maximum speed of 336.4 km/h, and won the second place in Q2. This is his fifth time in the 2022 season in the first row.
Ginantorio ran a lap of 1 minute 59.952 seconds in FP3, and he needed to try again in Q1. By Q1, he ran a much faster lap of 1 minute 59.278 seconds and won the sixth in Q1. In the end, he started in the 16th place in the main race. After the qualifying race, Bastanini said, "Today is a hot day (Note: The outdoor temperature in Q2 is 33 degrees Celsius), but I feel that mine is very good since the morning. (Quotation period) we have taken an important step forward in setting the front end of the car, and everything has been done according to the original plan. FP4, we tried the neutral front tire again, and also used the neutral front tire in the qualifying race. Tomorrow's official race, the competition with the front car will be a wonderful race, and it is not easy to win. The numbers are not the whole race, and now I just want to go well. "
Ginantorio said, "I am not happy (with this result) because we did not make much progress between Friday and Saturday. During the practice on the weekend, I made some mistakes, and qualifying was the only link to get positive feedback from the racing car. We started the race from the back of the starting area, and I hope to solve some problems during the warm-up before the race and have a decent race."
