Mugello MotoGP

[FourWheelDrift]

Rookies to the front in FP2 MotoGP. Bagnaia (GP18) from Quartararo and the Yamahas are the slowest through the speed trap he lost 0.2 from the last corner to the finish line.

Massive amount of work for dovi and Rossi to do.

I’m in turkey so been watching this on the beach , the commentators keep saying the Yamaha is massively down on power yet a Yamaha is top ?

Also do Ducati keep Petrucci or replace him with miller ?

I can’t really see how they can justify replacing Petrucci, he’s been quick without ruining dovi’s races .

Seems like zarco might be shown the door to , which I bet he’d look forward to .

[dibblecorse]

Looking forward to this, loving how the rookies are mixing it from FP1 through to the race, will see some surprising results I think this year and I have an inkling that MM93 will unravel a little over the coming months, nothing to base that on other than gut feel ....

[chunder27]

Who do you replace Zarco with?

try and buy Rins out of Suzuki, he would be mad!! I could maybe see Miller going there, but again he would be mad too.

I think they will go for Oliveira, or maybe try and nick someone like Morbidelli from Monster. I can't see KTM ever getting there unless they literally ask Marquez to name his price, and he won't go there until he gets bored.

Great to see TM up there in Moto3, did not know they were building a bike, looks tidy and their MX machines are exquisite.

I get the same feeling for Lorenzo other than he won't be looking forward to it. Tough to know where they are both to go? Think Suzuki would be the option for them both but obviously need a non factory team to supply bikes for them both unless Mir & Rins move which I don't see happening.

If Lorenzo goes , crutchlow to hrc and zarco on his old bike ? Or get him on a decent wsbk for a year until a team has space .

Cal will never ride for Repsol because of his relationship with Monster, it's that simple.

he is already on a factory bike, no need for him to move, all he has to do is stay on the thing more.

[Ho Lee Kau]

love that track
I have to go ride it again

on another note, I hear rumours of Marquez potentially going to Ducati after 2020.
THAT would be interesting! If he could pull a Stoner he would be truly The Greatest.

[Skyedriver]

Come on John Mcphee!
Why does he have to always leave it to the last minute in practice/qualifying....

[egor110]

Well Petrucci is doing a good job keeping his Ducati seat by breaking the lap record .

Good work by pol and nakagami riding a year old bike .

It does seem the aliens are in there twilight years , Rossi and Lorenzo just don’t seem to be able to compete with the new riders coming thru.

Qualifying not until 3 over here so I’ve got a long wait managing battery levels in the tablet .

[FourWheelDrift]

That's going to make Q1 very interesting Rossi, Lorenzo, Dovi, Rins, Pirro, Mir all could be contenders for the top 2.

P Espargaro 2nd quickest, Zarco 20th. Does Zarco have the trick carbon fibre swing arm that Esp has?

On one of Italian sites they were saying pol just attack’s more then winds it back a bit whereas zarcos more a thinker and makes tiny steps forward .

Quartararo! What a lap during QP. Waiting on his first win. Should hopefully come soon.

[egor110]

Lol Márquez literally bent dovi owner and banged at his home race !

Petrucci doing a great job keeping his seat although you do wonder if Ducati are tempted to try and sign quartrarto and mornidelli on a long term contract.

Yes, certainly embarrassing for the factory Yamaha's.

Quartararo is fantastic.

Pretty sure his bike his less factory than his team mate too. Certainly less than Rossi/Vinales, so yes, it's getting embarrassing for them.

Cannot imagine been 7th would be his first choice
