Di Giannantonio Claims Victory with Aprilia and Breaks Record in MotoGP!
Prior to the upcoming Grand Prix Final Race at Mugello Circuit, MotoGP riders were given a 30-minute preparation session. Following difficulties experienced on wet asphalt the previous day, ideal conditions prevailed on the track today, particularly boosting the performance of VR46 rider Fabio Di Giannantonio. Di Giannantonio was considered a strong favorite for the sprint race due to health issues he experienced the previous day, and his resulting performance.
During the first qualifying sessions, Di Giannantonio, competing against Ducati, reached 6th place with his #49 motorcycle. This position was achieved after Bagnaia, Bezzecchi, Fernandez, and Bastianini and Rins, who delivered a surprise performance the previous day.
At the beginning of FP2, Jorge Martin, on a Werks Aprilia motorcycle, set a track record. Martin reached a speed of 368.6 km/h, breaking the previous record for the highest speed achieved by a GP motorcycle. This acceleration also positively impacted Martin’s lap time, elevating him to 4th place.
Di Giannantonio quickly regained the lead. The Ducati rider overtook Pecco Bagnaia with a lap time of 1:45.641, becoming the fastest pilot of the session. Yamaha rider Luca Bezzecchi was in 3rd place, while World Championship leader Francesco Bagnaia was also preparing for the race.
KTM riders were notably ineffective in the top rankings. However, Pedro Acosta climbed to 2nd place with a final sprint.
The Gresini Racing team also experienced issues. With 12 minutes remaining, Michele Pirro, replacing Marc Marquez, crashed and caused serious damage to the GP26 motorcycle. Simultaneously, Di Giannantonio also struggled to get out on track due to a technical fault. He managed to maintain the fastest lap time until the final moments.
World Champion Marc Marquez steadily improved his performance in FP2, reaching 9th place. Young pilot Diogo Moreira also finished in 10th place. Pramac team’s young rider Toprak Razgatlioglu had fallen to 20th place, 1.7 seconds behind.
