After𓆏 three practice sessions in bond-💖dry conditions, FP4 became a preview for qualifying as rain hit the Mugello circuit. 

As more and more rain started to fall, Marquez hea𝕴ded out of pit lane on slick tyres, a decision he regretted with immediate effect.&nbs♑p;

As he rode around the outside of Fabio ꦛQuartararo, 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 fe🅺et 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 ri🅷der ꦗheaded back out on-track with slick tyres. 

Bꦇuilding on his stun🌌ning Q1 performance, Fabio Di Giannantonio immediately 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 provisional all-Ducati front row. 

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

With Di Giannantonio returning to provisional pole, several riders attem🍰pted 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 chec༒kered 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.

With conditions continuing to prove tricky once Q1 got underဣway, Marc Marquez, Alex Rins, Joan Mir and Jack Miller highlighted the big names needing to find pace.  

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

ꦡAfter securing one of the most spectacular MotoGP wins in Austria l🐟ast season, Brad Binder took another gamble by running slick tyres on a damp track. 

The South African was immediately rewarded for his bravery as he went three seconds quicker than te♐am-m🎃ate Oliveira. 

Binder’s🍰 time resulted in Maverick Vinales, Rins and Miller all returning to pit lane🌄 in order to fit slick tyres. 

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

However, mixed weather specialists Miller and Marquez showed unbelievable bravery to go first and second despit🐬e rain continuing to fall [sector two]. The pair improved on the next lap around but it was Di Giannantonio who was the rider wi🌱th the most pace. 

Miller found yet more time on his final lap to momentarily go second, bu🏅t with Marquez tucked into his slipstream, the Repsol Honda rider overh🉐auled the Australian as soon as they came over the line. 

Prior to qualifying began, Jorge Martin was hit with a three-plac⛦e grid penalty due to irresponsible riding in FP3.
