Francesco Bagnaia keeps command of the timesheets during a sunny, but windy warm-up for the 2023 Americas MotoGP in Austin, Texas.
The reigning champion, pole qualifier and Sprint winner, who heads into this afternoon's grand prix just one point behind title leader Marco Bezzecchi, topped the session with a 2m 3.988s.
That put the Ducati star 0.3s clear of Saturday faller Fabio Quartararo (Yamaha), with RNF Aprilia's Miguel Oliveira completing the top three.
Bezzecchi meanwhile joined Alex Marquez - who battled sickness during Saturday's race, vomiting in his helmet before crashing out of fifth - and Franco Morbidelli in suffering a warm-up fall.
Peter has been in the paddock for 20 years and has seen Valentino Rossi come and go. He is at the forefront of the Suzuki exit story and Marc Marquez’s injury issues.
