How to topple MotoGP's unlikely Mugello qualifying stars - The Race (The Race)

Who's got the Mugello MotoGP race pace? Who'll actually be able to use it? Who'll be riding like it's "the end of the world"?

“I know how they will ride though, and it will be difficult. It’s going to be difficult with a lot of Ducatis in front, but I will try. “With a hard front I feel extremely good, but with a medium I feel like the bike is going to close – and I don’t think I can use the hard.” “The bike was ready, very good,” he said of qualifying. “I think it’s going to be a fun race. “I think we’re going to have a good race and you guys are going to enjoy it.”

Rider Ratings: Four riders perfect at Mugello, but who are they? (crash.net)

Crash.net journalist Robert Jones runs through the field's rider ratings following an action-packed Italian MotoGP at Mugello.

Rins was unable to show the type of pace we’ve often seen from him in 2022, a surprise given Suzuki were expected to be very strong at Mugello. A three-time race winner so far this season, Bastianini appeared set for a late podium charge after rapidly catching the group in front. (Qualified 9th, finished DNF) Dovizioso was not only last of the four M1 Yamaha riders, but over half a minute down on Quartararo. Regularly four tenths off team-mate Quartararo during practice, Morbidelli’s home round at Mugello was a continuation of his disappointing 2022 season. With Jorge Martin struggling for form, Zarco continues to deliver for the satellite Ducati team.

'Career-best' race proves who is MotoGP's best rider right now - The ... (The Race)

If anyone had any doubt who's the best rider in MotoGP right now, Fabio Quartararo's Mugello ride should've resolved it.

But there’s also the other thing – Quartararo is not making big mistakes. He is pushing, but he is not crashing. Arguably, at Mugello he even scored some ‘unavailable’ points. He was powerless to resist Francesco Bagnaia, but managed to keep him from ever completely breaking away. Quartararo’s self-praise has been a rather familiar refrain for 2022, and it can get on your nerves if you’re so inclined. His championship lead is doubled, and he has 41 points in hand over today’s race winner Bagnaia.

But Öncü took it, making Sunday at Mugello a 0 for both Foggia and Masia, and a day of big gains in the standings for GASGAS. Rossi was the last of the front group in P6 after a tangle with Moreira at the final corner. Sergio Garcia (Valresa GASGAS Aspar Team) came out on top in a last lap classic at Mugello, with plenty of drama as two title rivals failed to score and teammate Izan Guevara crossed the finish line first. Adrian Fernandez (Red Bull KTM Tech 3) just pipped debutant David Muñoz (BOE Motorsports) to the top ten, with Joel Kelso (CIP Green Power) a couple of tenths back. It wasn’t to be this time round though, with the number 7 crashing from the lead and Carlos Tatay (CFMoto PrüstelGP) avoiding that, just before some more drama as John McPhee (Sterilgarda Max Racing Team) crashed and Daniel Holgado (Red Bull KTM Ajo) went down in the incident too. It was back out to 1.1 with a lap to go, and by the time he crossed the line for an emotional win, it was just over half a second. On the last lap, Guevara was leading Garcia leading Suzuki, with Migno looking to attack the Japanese rider. The non-finishers in addition to Bastianini were Pol Espargaro (Repsol Honda Team), who crashed out on Lap 5, and Team Suzuki Ecstar duo Joan Mir and Alex Rins, who both went down in separate incidents on Lap 8. The start was not my best start ever and in the first braking zone I was a bit late, but in any case, I’m very happy to have won this race at home, in front of our fans. ‘El Diablo’ brought the gap back under a second with around half a dozen laps to go and was able to keep it there, but then the Ducati rider was able to respond. Then, Aprilia’s ‘Captain’ got ahead of the next impressive VR46 hurdle with a pass of Bezzecchi at Scarperia on lap 17. Ducati had swept the top five in qualifying but, rather than the slightly more accustomed Bagnaia being on the front row, it was rookie Fabio Di Giannantonio (Gresini Racing MotoGP™) starting from pole, fellow rookie Marco Bezzecchi sitting second and Mooney VR46 Racing teammate Luca Marini alongside.

MotoGP: "I knew I had to pass in the first section or they would have passed me on the straight. I hope to be able to race again with Marc like in 2019"

I was surprised by how I managed the race, I made a good start but unfortunately I was on the left at the first corner and I really had to push to the limit to keep my position and defend. I hope to be able to race with him again as we did in 2019". It doesn’t mean that we will not use it in the future, it is a fairing designed for straights, but it will always depend on whether or not it adapts to my riding style. The new fairing gained something in that respect but in these cases we must also consider the negative aspects, and with the team we made a choice to return to something that we already know works well. There was a moment when I was fighting with Bezzecchi and Marini. Marco caught me back on the straight and I started letting go of the brakes, then he started cornering and I didn't want to lose my position but the front was starting to become unstable so I had to brake. In the end we decided to opt for the previous setup, losing a little in top speed but using the tow we could recover.

Marc Marquez: 'Like this, I cannot continue, I hope my life will change' (crash.net)

Marc Marquez finished tenth in his final MotoGP race before withdrawing to undergo a fourth operation on his weak and painful right arm.

No. The target of the operation is to try to enjoy riding again and have a normal life again. Marquez said Honda fully supported his decision: “I feel a very big respect, from Honda to myself. “My daily life is affected a lot [at the moment],” Marquez added. “Of course you are always worried about a fourth operation in the same arm. But I was here, Honda allowed me to choose and I decide to continue the weekend. “Having the operation is the correct decision for my future, but it’s not like I’ll have the operation and [automatically] win again. But it’s the correct decision because riding like this, I cannot continue,” Marquez said. I enjoyed 6-7 laps in the beginning, I did a great start and I saw the front group. But then I had one warning and I gave up, because already I started to get arm pump, with a lot of pain and a lack of power. “It’s an operation and everything can happen. “Today it was important not to make crazy things. And I was able to ride more or less in the same pace.

I hope the operation goes through, I would like to fight with them to the best of my abilities. I am talking, for example, about Aleix and also Fabio and Martin. I also met Pecco at the end of the race, the rivalry takes place on the track, but outside of it respect between riders is important ". I mean, the operation is not like ‘I will have the operation and I will win again’, no. In 2020 and 2021 I was pleased to see the great mutual respect. In the garage they didn't tell me specifically, but I understood that they wanted me to race safely." "Yes, of course I raced with as much caution as possible, I had some opportunities to overtake Oliveira but I gave more importance to finishing the race without incidents. I have a certain level of confidence with Nomura-san and we discussed it. "Everything will depend on the outcome of the operation. It’s true that I received the news on Friday, but if I received that news on Wednesday or Thursday I will not race here. But I had one warning and I gave up, because I saw I had arm pump and a lot of pain and a lack of power. Yesterday the clouds were gathering over Mugello, and between the rain and the thunder Marquez announced his decision to undergo a new operation.

6-time MotoGP World Champion Marc Marquez is set to undergo a fourth surgery on his right arm, as he finds himself in discomfort since the last operation.

In the past it was not ready, it was soft and it was not recommended but now it is recommended" he added. Adding to this, his heavy crash in Indonesia gave him a concussion which in turn returned his double-vision problems, forcing him to miss out on the last 2 races of 2021 and the Argentinian GP this year. This ultimately forced him to undergo a third surgery which resulted in him missing out on the entire 2020 campaign and the first two races of 2021.

'Weight off my shoulders': Ducati star's home heroics keeps title ... (Fox Sports)

Fabio Quartararo could vie for the story of the weekend in what he described as his career-best race, finishing second a track he expected to seriously dent his ...

A final note goes to an emotional last race of the season for Marc Márquez, who announced on Saturday night that he’s stepping back from MotoGP for a fourth round of surgery on his right arm. He’s been developing arm pump syndrome as he attempts to compensate with an unnatural riding style, which is also damaging his left shoulder as it attempts to pick up the slack of his weakened right side. They faded a little in the race, to 12th, fifth and sixth respectively, but all reported that they’d learnt immensely from mixing in with the frontrunners, particularly about race management. He eventually came home an unsatisfying 15th for a single point, dropping him to 59 points off the title lead. He was joined on the podium by Aleix Espargaró, who scored his fourth successive third place of the season in a bout of a consistency completely alien to Aprilia before this season. He’s squeezing the absolute maximum from a substandard bike, as he has been all season, but is yet to make a mistake. But it was the way the unexpected trio manages their qualifying sessions that most impressed. He admitted afterwards that he’d already made his quota of mistakes for the season and that only flawlessness would suffice to keep him in contention. First there’s the fact that he marked out Mugello as being one of the circuits that could devastate his title campaign. But his patience and resolve to recover helped put behind him that disappointing weekend at Le Mans and bring him up to fourth in the standings, albeit 31 points off top spot. Darryn Binder was the best among them, beating Franco Morbidelli to 17th, while Andrea Dovizioso pootled home 20th. Second, he managed to dispatch all nine — yes, fully nine — Ducati bikes on Ducati’s home track.
