Fabio Di Giannantonio followed up his Barcelona win by leading first practice for MotoGP’s Italian Grand Prix at Mugello
Following his Barcelona win, Fabio Di Giannantonio set the pace in the first practice session for the MotoGP Italian Grand Prix at Mugello. The track conditions were not ideal as rain had left some areas damp, but the weather was expected to improve for the rest of the event. Di Giannantonio topped the timesheets by 0.369 seconds, with Jorge Martin close behind in second place. Despite using a mix of new and old tires, Di Giannantonio and Martin showcased strong performances. Marc Marquez, making his comeback, struggled initially but managed to improve his position before finishing 15th. Marquez’s fitness following recent injuries will be evaluated to determine his further participation in the weekend. Meanwhile, Pecco Bagnaia had a mishap, crashing at the first corner, while Cal Crutchlow, standing in for Johann Zarco, ended the session at the back of the field.
