2014 Mugello MotoGP FP1 Results: Marquez Leads From Italian Trio

Submitted by Jacob Leech on

Championship leader Marc Marquez has continued his scintillating 2014 form to head the opening MotoGP practice session of the Italian Grand Prix at Mugello. Lingering cloud created cool morning conditions and meant that the Spaniard's benchmark time of 1:48.004 was almost a second slower than the fastest ever lap recorded at the circuit. The time was however good enough to place him almost four tenths clear of hometown hero Valentino Rossi in second while fellow Italian riders Andrea Iannone and Andrea Dovizioso claimed impressive third and fourth placings for Ducati.

Jorge Lorenzo rounded out the top five ahead of Forward Racing's Aleix Espargaro, Stefan Bradl and Cal Crutchlow while Alvaro Bautista, who was running high up the order in the early stages, suffered a familiar crash late on to end the session in ninth place. Bradley Smith completed the top ten while his team mate Pol Espargaro had a big crash halfway through the session, he thankfully managed to walk away unscathed and finished twelfth behind an ominously under-whelming Dani Pedrosa.

... and can your team get the bike fixed for FP2?

Seriously, I am uncomfortable with him rushing back out on backup bike, hearing his post-session comments that he was dazed, confused, not able to focus.
