Nakagami, who will start 15th on the grid, is the surprise leader of an ultra-close warm-up session for the Italian MotoGP at a sunny Mugello.

Mir fell early in the session, while Marc Marquez was lucky to avoid an accident when Bagnaia had a moment just ahead of him and the Repsol Honda rider nearly hit his rear wheel.

Oliveira was shown the black-and-orange flag due to smoke from his KTM.

The top 19 riders were covered by less than one-second.

Aleix Espargaro is riding for the first time since arm pump surgery. Injured rookie Jorge Martin is being replaced by Ducati test rider Michele Pirro. Marc Marquez, sidelined for nine months after complications to a broken right arm at Jerez last July, is taking part in his fourth event since returning to MotoGP action - and struggling with his right shoulder.

The official MotoGP top speed record is 362.4km/h (225.2mph) set by Zarco in Qatar earlier this year - and equalled by the KTM of Binder in FP3 at Mugello.

With Mugello missing from last year's calendar, the current rookies (Marini, Bastianini and Savadori) plus the 2020 rookies (Binder, Alex Marquez and Lecuona) are all competing at the track for the first time in the premier-class.

The four Yamahas have a front holeshot device to use for the first time, in today's race.
