MotoGP News: Vinales top Practice 2 at Mugello
A lap of 1m44.634s late saw Red Bull KTM Tech3 rider Maverick Vinales (pictured) spoil Ducati’s opening day party at Mugello.
Vinales beat Francesco Bagnaia (Ducati Lenovo Team) by 0.110s on Friday afternoon, as the Italian’s teammate Marc Marquez made sure both factory Ducatis were inside the top three at the end of play.
Alex Marquez was P4 behind the leading trio 0.153s behind Vinales, with Quartararo’s heroics seeing him end a rollercoaster Friday in P5 0.311s behind Vinales.
Marco Bezzecchi fronts the Aprilia charge in P6, Alex Rins sits P7 to hand factory Yamaha a double Q2 automatic passage, as Pedro Acosta, Franco Morbidelli and Fabio Di Giannantonio make up the initial 10 riders heading into the pole position scrap.
With 0.9s covering 15 riders, qualifying from Mugello followed by the Tissot Sprint on Saturday should be a barnstormer.
