The sky turned upside down. From the pitfalls of Mugello slightly beaded by the rain emerges Fabio Di Giannantonio who with his Ducati Gresini conquers a pole that is simply unthinkable, considering that, before these qualifying for the Italian GP, ​​he had never hit even a Q2. With a time of 1.46.156 the Roman precedes two other Ducatis, those of the VR46 team, which perhaps in homage to the retirement of number 46 of the pygmalion Valentino Rossi complete the front row, with Marco Bezzecchi second at 88 thousandths and Luca Marini third at 171 / 1000. Three Italians out of three Italian Ducatis in the first three places of the Italian GP qualification: an incredible triumph. Completed by a second row in which Zarco is fourth on Ducati Prima Racing, ahead of Pecco Bagnaia on the factory red and Fabio Quartararo on Yamaha.

the red flag

Session complicated by the rain that started falling during FP4 and interrupted with a red flag after a few seconds of Q2 for a flight by Marc Marquez: the Spaniard, with slicks like all the others, stumbled on a high side at turn 2, remedying a nice blow with the chin guard of the helmet, while his Honda crumbles even going into focus for a few moments: Marc will finish 12th, but will start 11th for the -3 penalty from Jorge Martin who precedes him. In the third row is Aleix Espargaro’s Aprilia ahead of Takaaki Nakagami’s Honda Lcr and Pol Espargaro, while Enea Bastianini, with the other Ducati Gresini is tenth at about half a second.

the others

Michele Pirro will start thirteenth, Suzuki, respectively 17th with Joan Mir and 21st with Alex Rins, while Lorenzo Savadori is 22nd with Aprilia ahead of Franco Morbidelli and the owner Maverick Vinales. Sadly last Andrea Dovizioso.

crazy q1

In Q1, with a humid track in some parts and wet in others and not exactly pouring rain, Brad Binder is the first to dare the slicks, then imitated by the others given the considerable advantage they provide. Fabio Di Giannantonio emerges from the joust of emotions and equilibrium that arises. With him advances to the noble phase of the qualification Marc Marquez, 2nd at 75 thousandths from Diggia, who sucks the wake of Jack Miller, third at 0.402 and first of the excluded: his cavalry towards the Spaniard this time did not pay off.
