Perfect conditions for this morning MotoGP warm-up in the sumptuous setting of the Mugello circuit; 21° in the air and 28° on the track.
The warm up is very important since it allows us to validate, or not, the last small adjustments made last night after analysis of the data, and which will perhaps make the difference during the race, the start of which will be given at 14 p.m. .

Obviously, this best time does not last long, and Vinales takes charge of lowering it to 1'47.510, in front of a reinvigorated Marquez.
The idol of the place waits for the last 6 minutes to arrive in the Top 5 with a Yamaha with a Medium tire at the front.
However, nothing seems to be able to stop Vinales who achieves a 1'47.295 a few moments before his teammate, Aleix Asparagus, do not make a minor mistake, like Baptist on the Aprilia.
Dovizioso reassures himself by snatching second position, while, in the last minute, Lorenzo stops after his engine breaks on the long straight, when releasing the gas for braking in San Donato; large cloud of oil smoke, small flames and slight rear wheel locking…
