FP2 🥂began with an early off for wildcard rider Michele Pirro as the Italian got his b🐻raking all wrong at the final corner. Pirro remained aboard his GP22 machine but not before running into the gravel. 

As was ಌthe case in FP1, Bagnaia nearly ran off-track at the same at turn one when he got🦹 crossed up behind Enea Bastianini, the same rider that forced a mistake out of Bagnaia at Le Mans.

• MotoGP 🌃Mugello: Tak𒐪aaki Nakagami under the race lap record as he dominates FP1 

Making a much better start than FP1, Marc Marquez looked more li♚ke himself as he immediately jumped int🐷o the top ten on combined times. 

Marquez went seventh quickest as Nakꦰagami remained♛ the top Honda rider in second place. 

Anꦚother rider who found pace and therefore moved into the top ten was reigning world champion Fabio Quartara🐭ro. 

The French r♑ider was still seven tenths off the pace of Zarco, not the type of margin we’re used to seeing Quartararo face. Despite that, Quartararo remained six tenths clear of team-mate Franco Morbidelli [P15]. 

Next to hit the gravel traps - remaining aboard his MotoGP machine - Pol Espargaro 𝓀ran off-trac♚k at turn one which was proving very difficult to navigate. 

At 🦂the front, Bagnaia was delivering yet more impressive pace as he churned out several mid 1m 46s laps, the only rider doing so with𝔉 such consistency. 

A red flag was d💖eployed with just under 20 minutes to go as Zarco suffered the first crash of the day [turn four] 

The Prima Pramac Racing Ducati rider suffered a front-end washout which led to stones being chucked onto t꧒he inside of tuಌrn five.

Once FP2 restarted, Bagnaia gave Pirro a scare as he dove to the insi🐻de of his fellow Italian on the flip-flop between turns two and three.

There was a second faller soon after the gre🌜en flag was waved as Rins crashed at the same turn four.&nbꦰsp;

With time attack runs officially underway,💙 Bagnaia was one of the first to significantly improve…

Leading a Ducati quartet, Bagnaia set a stunning time of 🌠1:45.940s to go ꩵthree tenths clear of Miller. 

But after g🌟etting a lovely slipstream from team-mate Maverick Vinales, Aleix Espargaro pipped the Lenovo Ducati rider by just +0.049s. 

Bagnaia and Espargaro both ran through the gravel [turns one & four] respectively, as did Zarco who suffered his second crash of the session, this time at t💯urn 12.

Takaaki Nakagami comes out swinging in MotoGP Mugello FP1!

Under ꩲpressure to retain his Honda seat, Nakagami dominated FP1 after se🎃tting a time of 1:46.662s - 0.408s clear of Espargaro and Bagnaia. 

Although Nakagami elected to set a time attack, it wasn’t an all out attempt by the LCR Honda rider as he chose to run a new medium rear💝 as opposed to the soft tyre.

In typical 2ဣ022 MotoGP fashion, the top four were separated by just +0.030s before Nakagami’s lat๊e effort, while Espargaro, Bagnaia and Alex Rins closed out the session within +0.001s of one-another. 

Outside of Nakagami, Honda suffered another tough session as Marc Marquez was down in 18th. Equally as disappointing was the performance of KTM, who despite new fairing upgrades, were only 16th and 17th⛦ in the hands of Brad Binder and Miguel Oliveira.
