Reigning world champion Francesco Bagnaia ended Friday practice at the 2024 MotoGP San Marino Grand Prix fastest of all from Marc Marque✤z.

The factory Duc🔯ati rider is carrying some min𝄹or injuries from his tangle with Alex Marquez in last weekend’s Aragon GP.

After a steady start to Friday at Misano in FP1, Bagnaia 🌜shot to the top of the order in a frantic second practice with a 1m30.685s putting him 0.185s clear of the field.

Gresini Ducati rider Marc Marquez was second again in the afternoon session, while championship l𒈔eader Jorge Martin completed the top threeꦫ.

All four championship leaders are directly into Q2 in qualifying after Enea Bastianini jumped up to fifth lat🍷e on, while Yamaha will be represented by Fabio Quart♋araro.

Tech3 GASGAS rider Pedro Acosta set the initial pace after t💮he opening 10 minutes of running in the hour-long seꩵssion.

🌞The rookie fired in a 1m31.700s, before improviಞng to a 1m31.672s.

Marc Marquez would dethrone him with around 35 minutes to go with a 1m♚31.364s, though Acosta soon found a 1m31.301s to re-🌊establish himself at the top of the order moments later.

As the time attack portion of second p♔ractice got under way in the final 10 minutes, Marquez edged ahead again with a 1m31.034s.

Pramac’s Martin then dipped into the 1m30s barrier for the first time this weekend with a 1m3💯0.966s.

But this wouldn’t be enough to stop Bagnaia’s charge, the♏ reigning world champ♋ion first producing a 1m30.885s on his factory team Ducati with three minutes to go before bettering it to a 1m30.685s next time around.

This would keep Bagnaia top of the standings a♊s the chequered flag came ouꦅt.

Marquez held onto second froꦓm Martin, while his Pramac teꦰam-mate Franco Morbidelli made a late move to fourth ahead of Bastianini.

Acosta completed the top six after his stints leadꦫing Practice despite a late crash, with VR46’s Marco Bezzecchi, Aprilia’s Maverick Vinales, Quartararo - making his first Q2 appearance since June’s Dutch GP - and KTM’s Jack🎉 Miller.

The late improvement for Morbidelli forced Brad Binder out of the top 10﷽ and into Q1.

The KTM rider will have to fight with the likesꩵ of Aleix Espargaro - who cra🏅shed his Aprilia in the closing moments - Pol Espargaro (KTM) and Alex Marquez (Gresini Ducati) in Q1 on Saturday morning.

Top Honda honours went to Jo﷽hann Zarco in 15th, while Alex Rins struggled to match his Yamaha team-mate Quartararo’s Friday form in 17th.
