Mugello.- Recently renewed for two more seasons with Aprilia, those who thought that Aleix Espargaró was going to relax received his answer at the end of the first day of the Italian Grand Prix, in which the Spanish rider set the fastest time with a time trial of 1.45.891 to beat the local idol, Pecco Bagnaia, who placed his Ducati second at 49 thousandths. His teammate Jack Miller was third, more than 0.4 seconds behind Aleix, with another Ducati, that of Johann Zarco, fourth, despite the fact that the Frenchman crashed twice, first at turn 4, 20 minutes from the end, and already with the clock to zero in turn 12, managing to get out of both landings.
Luca Marini, who was fifth, and Enea Bastianini, sixth rounded out Borgo Panigale’s house repoker in the top 6, with Brad Binder seventh and Marco Bezzecchi eighth (another Desmosedici).
The leader of the World Championship, Fabio Quartararo managed to get into the top 10 (9th) in his last lap, overtaking Pol Espargaró as the first Honda closing the ten positions that give provisional access to Q2.
Outside that comfort zone, Jorge Martín (11th), Marc Márquez (12th) and Alex Rins (13th) stayed out of that comfort zone, while other illustrious figures such as Joan Mir (18th) or Franco Morbidelli, who was 20th and still hasn’t get hold of the controls of the second official Yamaha.
