The STARTING GRID for the Sprint at Mugello: Bagnaia Chasing His First Saturday Win

Italian fans are ready to enjoy the first of two premier class races this weekend: here is the starting grid for the Sprint at Mugello.

Bagnaia fights, Alex pushes… but in the end, it’s once again Marc Marquez who celebrates the most. The Spaniard snatched another pole position, beating his teammate and home hero by just 59 thousandths of a second.

The second row is led by Fabio Quartararo, riding in pain after dislocating his shoulder yesterday, followed by Maverick Viñales and the VR46 duo: Franco Morbidelli and Fabio Di Giannantonio, who secured sixth and seventh respectively.

Acosta, Rins, and Bezzecchi round out the top 10.
