Not many would have predicted a Francesco Bagnaia and Fabio Quartararo top two at the end of the first two Free Practice sessions at the Italian Grand Peix, but that’s exactly what happened at Mugello.
First in Argentina, now in France. Yamaha MotoGP’s Maverick Vinales hasn’t had to best of luck this season after a collision with Francesco Bagnaia at the French GP prematurely ended his race, this coming after Yamaha SRT’s Franco Morbidelli tagged the Spaniard on the final lap in Termas de Rio Hondo.
Championship leader Marc Marquez kick-started the Italian Grand Prix with a fastest time of 1:47.558 to end MotoGP FP1 at the summit, with Ducati’s Danilo Petrucci and Michele Pirro completing the top three on home soil.
Pramac Racing’s Jack Miller took it to eventual race winner Marc Marquez in the early stages of the French Grand Prix, but in the end the Australian eventually had to settle for a more than respectable P4 at the chequered flag.
