Plus we still have a 23 lead. points in the general classification and that is also very positive. Last year at the same time, we were 37 points behind.

While he was turning faster than Lorenzo in the second and third rounds, Marc Marquez ended up close to the points and lost half of his good lead in the championship (36 points ahead of Viñales before Mugello, 23 on Rossi after). This is his second white result in six races after the one in Argentina.

Even if he remains in a much more favorable position than last year (he was then in fourth place in the provisional at!) The hot Catalan will have to try again to calm his enthusiasm: even if this fall at Mugello is his first in race, the n ° 93 has already fallen eight times this season mainly during free practice !

In addition, Marc Marquez provoked the wrath of Danilo Petrucci on which the Honda rider came to "lean" in the first turns after an optimistic entry into the curve. "Petrux" was thus propelled to the outside, moving from third to tenth position. "He threw me out", protests the Ducati Pramac rider, on pole to recover Jorge Lorenzo’s motorcycle in 2019. 

The n ° 9 – yet not the last to elbows – believes that Marquez deserves a sanction for his action: "if this had happened the following turn, I would probably have fallen because the clearance is in gravel and not in asphalt like to the place where I went out ", reports the Italian who collapsed at the end of the race (7th) after destroying his tires during a mad comeback which brought him back to third place for a while.

Pedrosa to the mat

As for Dani Pedrosa, very poorly qualified in 20th position, he also felt gravel on the first lap, dragging the unfortunate Takaaki Nakagami into his fall. The air of nothing, this is the second "ball" of the Catalan pilot, who also bears a share of the responsibility in the spectacular collision with the two official Ducatis in Jerez (Spain).

"It was a very difficult weekend because we had a lot of trouble finding a good feeling at Mugello", regrets the unfortunate Spaniard who also had, after finishing … "It was only during the warm- up that we managed to find a setting that gave me more confidence. Unfortunately I started from very far on the grid and that often increases the risks. I wanted to gain ground from the start and I passed several drivers, but I brushed against Bautista’s rear wheel and fell while dragging "Taka" (Nakagami, editor’s note). I’m really sorry and it’s a shame that I couldn’t see what the settings would have given. , nor how many places I could have won in the race. "
