Mugello MotoGP: Vinales leads the way in morning warm-up

The Suzuki rider set a best time of 1m47.295s with five minutes to go during the 20-minute session, the third of a succession of quick laps by the 21-year-old Spaniard, who narrowly missed out on a maiden pole in qualifying on Saturday.

That was enough to put Vinales 0.350s clear of previous pacesetter Marc Marquez, but a late effort from Dovizioso allowed the Ducati rider to slot into second between the pair, 0.141s off the pace.

Yamaha teammates Jorge Lorenzo and Valentino Rossi completed the top five, split by 0.056s, although Lorenzo suffered an engine failure approaching Turn 1 with a minute left on the clock.

Andrea Iannone completed the top six, just 0.010s behind Rossi and ahead of Pol Espargaro (Tech 3 Yamaha) and Aleix Espargaro (Suzuki), who suffered a crash at Turn 13 in the closing stages.

But it was Aprilia rider Alvaro Bautista who had the most dramatic off as he had an enormous high-side at Turn 8, destroying his upgraded RS-GP machine.
