Fastest Friday time:
Aleix Espargaro SPA Aprilia 1m 45.891s

Official Mugello MotoGP records:
Best lap:
Fabio Quartararo FRA Yamaha 1m 45.187s (2021)
Fastest race lap:
Johann Zarco FRA Ducati 1m 46.810s (2021)

Francesco Bagnaia stays fastest during Free Practice 4 for the Italian MotoGP, with the best lap times all set before the forecast rain arrived at Mugello, 10-minutes into the half-hour session.

The light rain kept riders in the pits until 6mins to go, when Alex Rins became the first to try wet tyres.

Qualifying 1 - for those outside the top ten after third free practice, including Suzuki riders Joan Mir and Alex Rins plus Repsol Honda's Marc Marquez - will now get underway.

A furious Enea Bastianini fell for the second time today, again at the final corner, just before the FP4 shower.

Fabio Quartararo leads the MotoGP standings by just four points from Enea Bastianini after the Gresini Ducati rider’s third victory of the season at Le Mans, with Aprilia’s Aleix Espargaro just eight points from the top.

Quartararo won last year’s Mugello race after Francesco Bagnaia crashed from the lead on lap 2, but can the Frenchman again compensate for his M1’s lack of speed along the fastest straight on the MotoGP calendar?

Local legend Valentino Rossi had his #46 officially retired from MotoGP on Saturday.

The official MotoGP top speed record of 362.4km/h (225.2mph), first set by Johann Zarco at Qatar 2021, was equalled by Brad Binder at Mugello last season.

Test riders Michele Pirro (Ducati) and Lorenzo Savadori (Aprilia) are making their latest wild-card appearances this weekend.

Darryn Binder will need to serve a long lap penalty in the race for 'crashing while not respecting a yellow flag in FP3'.
