P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Alex Rins hails “super fast” debut for the Yamaha V4 in the hands of Augusto Fernandez on Friday, but “losing three tenths” at Turn 11.
During Friday practice at Misano, Alex Rins humorously expressed his wish for Augusto Fernandez to finish in front of him, which came true as Fernandez completed his Yamaha V4 debut just ahead of Rins in 20th place. Despite Fernandez’s impressive lap times, no Yamaha riders secured direct access to Qualifying 2, with Fabio Quartararo leading the M1 pack in twelfth. Rins praised Fernandez’s speed but noted that he might have been cautious in certain corners due to the new machinery. Overall, Rins, Quartararo, and other Yamaha riders faced challenges with tire performance and stability, making it a difficult day for the team with all Yamahas missing out on Qualifying 2. The day also saw Jack Miller finishing 16th between Quartararo and Fernandez at the 2025 San Marino MotoGP.
