Marco Bezzecchi outpaces Marc Marquez to lead warm-up for the Italian MotoGP, but which tyres will they chose?
During the morning warm-up for the Italian MotoGP, Marco Bezzecchi managed to outperform Sprint winner Marc Marquez and placed Aprilia at the top of the timesheets. Bezzecchi, despite starting in tenth and losing two wings during the Sprint, surpassed the factory Ducati rider by 0.094s on his penultimate lap of the session. Most riders, including Bezzecchi, opted for used medium front and soft rear tires for warm-up. Bezzecchi, who showed promising pace similar to the Marquez brothers in the previous practice, could pose a podium threat. Michelin suggested the revised hard tire as a viable option for the front, with the medium or soft tires as choices for the rear.
The weather forecast is cooler for the race day, but Yamahas are unlikely to opt for the hard front tire after Miller’s challenging experience. Miller struggled with the hard tire and deemed it unsuitable for the race conditions. Marquez will strive for his 93rd grand prix victory this afternoon at Mugello, seeking his first win at the circuit since 2014. The 23-lap Italian MotoGP starts at 2 pm local time, with home star Bagnaia aiming for a fourth consecutive win but facing a competitive grid.
