Reigning world champion Fra♑ncesco Bagnaia ended Friday pr🦄actice at the 2024 MotoGP San Marino Grand Prix fastest of all from Marc Marquez.

The factory Ducati rider is carrying some minor injuries from his tangle with Al🅰ex Marquez in last weekend’s Aragon GP.

After a steady start to Friday at Misano in FP1, Bagnaia shot to the top of tไhe order in a frantic second practice with a 1m30.685s putting him 0.185sꦜ clear of the field.

Gresini Ducati rider Marc Marquez was second again in the afternoon session, while championship leader Jorge Martin completed the t꧅op three.

All four championship leaders are directly into Q2 in qualifying after Enea Bastia📖nini jumped up to fifth late on, while Yamaha will be represented by Fabio Quartararo.

Tech3 GASGAS rider Pedro Acosta set the initial pace after the opening 1ﷺ0 minutes of running in the ജhour-long session.

The rookie fired in a 1m31.700s, before improving to𝕴 a 1m31.672s.

Marc Marquez would dethrone him with around 35 minutes to go with a 1m31.364s, though Acosta soon found a 1m31.301s to re-establish himself at the top oಌf the order moments la𝓰ter.

As the time attack portion of second practice got under way in the final 10 minutes, Marquez edged ahead♒ again with a 1m31.034s.

Prไamac’s Martin then dipped into the 1m30s barrier for the fi♚rst time this weekend with a 1m30.966s.

But this wouldn’t be enough to stop Bagnaia’s charge, the reigning worꦆld champion first producing a 1m30.885s on his factory team Ducaꦕti with three minutes to go before bettering it to a 1m30.685s next time around.

This would keep Bagnaia top o🦋f the standings as the chequered flag came out.

Marquez held onto second from Martin, while his Pramac team-mate Franco Morbidelli made a late m🦩ove to fourtꦇh ahead of Bastianini.

Acosta completed the top six after his stints leading Practice despite a late crash, with VR46’s Marco Bezzecchi, Aprilia’s Maverick Vinales, Quartararo - making his first Q2 appearance since June’s Dutch GP - 🐼and KTM’s Jack Miller.

The late improvement for Morbidel🀅li forced Bꦺrad Binder out of the top 10 and into Q1.

The KTM rider will have to fight with the likes of Aleix Espargaro - who crashed his Aprilia in the clo♏sing moments - Pol Espargaro (KTM) and Alex Marquez (Gresini Ducati) ꧃in Q1 on Saturday morning.

Top Honda honours went to Joh💙ann Zarco in 15th, while Alex Rins struggled to match his Yamaha team-mate Quartararo’s Friday form in 17th.&nbℱsp;
