Five Ducati riders filled the Mugello top six on Friday but Francesco Bagnaia left practice with a clear warning. Bagnaia said Mugello suits Ducati and his riding style perfectly, but his main concern is the soft rear tyre, adding that the drop was huge and very unexpected, and that the grip level appears worse than last year. Di Giannantonio led the timesheets. Aprilia’s Bezzecchi and Martin were seventh and eighth. Marc Marquez returned in 14th.
