Jorge Lorenzo (Yamaha Factory Racing) set a late lap time of 1’48.080 in practice Saturday morning, making him the fastest rider of Gran Premio d’Italia TIM weekend as well as the fastest motorcycle around the circuit in history thus far.
Despite Marco Simoncelli (San Carlo Honda Gresini Team) bettering his previous day’s time by over half a second with a time of 1’48.411, the significant improvement was not enough to catch the Mallorcan.
Casey Stoner (Repsol Honda) went 0.293s faster than his best time on Friday to put him third quickest of the weekend, also making him the last rider under the 1’49 mark.
