  "summary": "Marco Bezzecchi, an Italian rider, claimed the fastest time during the practice session for the San Marino Grand Prix, narrowly beating seven-time MotoGP champion Marc Marquez by a tenth of a second on Friday. The Aprilia rider was competing on the Misano circuit located on the Adriatic coast, while Marquez was riding a Ducati. Despite the challenging session, championship leader Jorge Martin managed to secure the 10th fastest time, which automatically qualified him for Q2 on Saturday. All top 10 finishers in Friday's practice are exempt from Q1 and are guaranteed a top 12 grid placement for both the sprint race on Saturday afternoon and the Grand Prix on Sunday, while the remaining 13 riders must compete in Q1 for a chance at the remaining spots in Q2.",
