He started the session gesturing conspicuously to challenge Franco Morbidelli’s line in the trajectory, he closed it in the lead with the best time of the session: Alex Marquez with the Ducati Gresini carves out a good space with the reference performance of the Free Practice 1 of the GP of Italy at Mugello. In 1.46.121 Marc’s younger brother precedes Fabio Quartararo’s Yamaha, second at 87 thousandths, and Brad Binder’s Ktm, third at 0.104. Three different manufacturers in the first three places, when a few minutes before the end of the session there were six Ducatis in the first six places…

The attack on time has reshuffled the cards, but not defined the real values. In fact, the 16th place of the World Championship leader, Pecco Bagnaia, does not reflect his actual potential: it is only the result of the Ducatista’s choice not to use the time tire in the final, remaining on the average used. In the next session, at 3 pm, more will be known and everyone will stop delaying to ensure passage to Q2.

In this first session, Marco Bezzecchi did well, fourth on the Ducati VR46 at 0.180, ahead of the two Desmosedici Pramacs in the brilliant Divine Comedy version by Johann Zarco (+0.214) and Jorge Martin (+0.240). Franco Morbidelli good seventh with the Yamaha (+0.279), ahead of Maverick Vinales, eighth and dangerous with the Aprilia using the double average (+0.283), Marc Marquez, ninth with the Honda (+0.288) and Raul Fernandez, tenth and on the rise with the Aprilia RNF (+0.307).

Fright for Aleix Espargaro, on the track with a ‘Biaggi Tribute’ helmet bearing the famous Corsair panther, who flies off at Bucine: the Spaniard from Aprilia, already limping from a bump taken in training on his bike, gets up on his own but is backed by the Marshalls before returning to the pits. For him 22nd time and a strong blow to the heel which shouldn’t compromise its use.
the other Italians

So the other Italians: 11th Michele Pirro, wild card with the Ducati Aruba (0.367); 15th Enea Bastianini, returning with Ducati after breaking his scapula (0.680); 17th Fabio Di Giannantonio (Ducati Gresini) at 0.768; 18th Luca Marini (Ducati VR46) not at his best due to the hand injury sustained in France and 23rd Luca Savadori (Aprilia) at 2″.
