The world champion, chasing three home Mugello wins in a row, received a three-place grid penalty for Sunday (but not the Sprint) after obstructing Alex Marquez on Friday afternoon.
Gresini's Marc Marquez was 0.339s behind Bagnaia in second this morning, with Franco Morbidelli and Enea Bastianini completing an all-Ducati top four.
Rookie Pedro Acosta was the top non-Desmosedici in fifth for KTM, followed by the Aprilia of Maverick Vinales and Yamaha of Fabio Quartararo.
Bagnaia and the other home Italian riders unveiled special helmet designs this morning, a stand-out ‘zen’ meditation design by Marco Bezzecchi!
Brad Binder set an all-time MotoGP top speed record of 227.5mph/366.1km/h during last year’s Mugello sprint race, which was matched by KTM wild-card Pol Espargaro on Friday.
Qualifying 1, for those outside the top ten on Friday afternoon, including Fabio Quartararo, Brad Binder and Bezzecchi, will now begin.
Peter has been in the paddock for 20 years and has seen Valentino Rossi come and go. He is at the forefront of the Suzuki exit story and Marc Marquez’s injury issues.
