Jack Miller 2021 turned the tide in his favour by being quick in the warm-up round for the Portimao MotoGP. It comes after a fire on his Ducati in the pitlane.

He made sure to leave Fabio Quartararo behind on his final lap. On the other side, Marc Marquez made sure to rest his arm so he did not race.
After suffering a significant crash during FP3 Jorge Martin, who took the pole in Qatar, won’t be available to race this weekend.
Marc Marquez, who was out of the race for the last nine months due to his broken right arm, qualified in the sixth position.
We saw Nakagami on the bike. However, he was not comfortable due to the pain as he suffered an injured collarbone in a Friday fall.
