Mugello: Di Giannantonio’s Record Pace, Toprak 20th
The second practice session of the MotoGP Mugello Park Race resulted in a bombshell for the motorsports world. Taking place under ideal weather conditions offered by the Italian summer, this session saw Italian rider Fabio Di Giannantonio break an incredible speed record and signaled his ambitious start to the qualifying.
Exciting Session Before Qualifying
The session started at 11:10 CEST, and the riders began to test their performance on dry asphalt, completely different from the wet conditions of the first day. Specifically, Fabio Di Giannantonio, pilot of the Ducati team, established himself in 6th place in the first timed laps, demonstrating his potential to shape the race’s flow. However, just in the first 10 minutes of the session, Jorge Martin’s incredible attack with his factory Aprilia broke a record that will be written in gold letters in the history of motorsports. Martin reached a speed of 368.6 km/h, creating a new record and also bringing Di Giannantonio’s lap time to 4th place with this impressive performance.
Di Giannantonio and KTM’s Difficulties
In the later stages of the session, Fabio Di Giannantonio overtook Pecco Bagnaia by approximately 0.3 seconds with a lap time of 1:45.641. This showed Di Giannantonio’s position as a favorite in the sprint race. However, the rider from the Gresini Racing team had to leave the track towards the end of the session due to a technical issue with the Ducati motorcycle belonging to the VR46 team. Meanwhile, KTM pilot Pedro Acosta rose to 2nd place with a lap time of 1:45.885 in the final moments, indicating an even more intense competition.
Marquez’s Crash and Pirro’s Entry
One of the dramatic moments of the session emerged with the withdrawal of Gresini Racing pilot Marc Marquez due to his injury. Michele Pirro, the replacement rider, crashed shortly after, severely damaging his GP26 motorcycle. Following this crash, Fabio Di Giannantonio, who was the fastest, also could not continue due to a technical issue.
Toprak Razgatlıoğlu Finished 20th
Despite the volatile session, our representative Toprak Razgatlıoğlu finished the session 20th, with a gap of 1.7 seconds behind the leader. Throughout the session, especially Jorge Martin’s record speed and Pedro Acosta’s rise, it showed that there would be a great deal of competition before qualifying. Additionally, the performance of World Champion Marc Marquez improved to 9th place during the session, marking his hopeful start to the race.
