Aft꧟er three practice sessions in bond-dry conditionꦜs, FP4 became a preview for qualifying as rain hit the Mugello circuit. 

As more and more rain started to fall, Marquez heade𝔍d out of pit lane on slick tyres, a decision he regretted with immediate effect. 

As he rode around the outside of Fabio Quartara🌃ro, Luca Marini and Marco Bezzecchi, Marquez highsided on the exit of turn two as he violently landed on his head and shoulder. ﷽;

The eight-time world champion’s bike then caught fire as it self-destructed with Marquez in the gravel🌱. 

Thankfully, Marquez returned to his feet relatively quickly before returning to pit lane. Without a flying lap being complete, the red🅰 flags were rightfully brought out. 

Once the session restarted, every rider headed ๊back out on-track with slick tyr🌃es. 

Building on his stunning Q1 performance, Fabio Di Giannantonio immedꦗiately found his groove as he bolted to the top of the leaderboard. 

💎Di Giannantonio then went a further 1.2 seconds clear of Bezzecchi, while Luca Marini made it a provisionaꦿl all-Ducati front row. 

Ducati’s dominance continued as Q2 developed, but this time it was Zarco leading ಌthe way as Bagnaia slotted in third place. 

With Di Giannantonio r💎eturning to provisional pole, several riders attempted to dislodge the Italian 🍌on their final lap.

And Bezzecchi did just that as he went two tenths faster, but with Di Giannantonio yet to take the ওcheckered flag, the Gresini Ducati rider pumped in four red sectors as he came across the line to eventually set a time of 1:46.156s, therefore pole was his. 

Di Giannantonio and Marquez advance through wild Mugello MotoGP Q1 session

With conditions continuing to prove 🎉tricky once Q1 got underway, Marc Marquez, Alex Rins, J♎oan Mir and Jack Miller highlighted the big names needing to find pace.  

As expected, Miller wasted no time in getting comfoไrtable, however, the factory Ducati rider was beaten to top spot by Mandalika race winner Miguel Oliveira. 

After securing one of the most spectacular MotoGP wins ꦡin Austri🌠a last season, Brad Binder took another gamble by running slick tyres on a damp track. 

The South Afr♉ican was immediately rewarded for his 💧bravery as he went three seconds quicker than team-mate Oliveira. 

Binder’s time resulted in Maverick Vinales, R🐈ins and Miller all returning to pit lane in order to fit slick tyres. 

With heavy rain starting to fall in secto🅷r two, Michele Pirro seemed to have timed his lap to perfection as he went second fastest.

However, mixed weather specialists Mill𒀰er and Marquez showed unbelievable bravery to go first and second despite rain continuing to fall [sector two]. The pair improved on the next lap around but it was Di Giannantonio who was the rider with the most pace. 

Miller found yet more time on his final lap to momentarily go second, but with Mar🐭quez tucked ꦅinto his slipstream, the Repsol Honda rider overhauled the Australian as soon as they came over the line. 

Prior to qualifying began, Jorge Martin was hit with a three-place grid penalty due to irres♍ponsible riding in FP3.
