No motorcyclists are currently on the circuit, and it seems the Mugello test session could be concluding prematurely, despite there being 30 minutes left on the clock.

What if Marc Marquez decides to hop on the red Ducati for a ride?

In case you missed it, take a look at the major announcement below…

According to the schedule, there are 90 minutes left in the Mugello test session, but the riders have all returned to the pits because of the weather conditions.

Ducati introduced new components (details are confidential), but they are unable to evaluate them in rainy conditions.

Aprilia aims to fine-tune their electronics and chassis to improve their straight-line performance while preserving the integrity of the soft tire. Additionally, they plan to introduce new aerodynamic components for use in the latter half of the season.

Maverick and Aleix now have a new launch system fitted to their Aprilia motorcycles.

MotoGP teams aimed to familiarize themselves with their standard bike setup so that they could easily notice any changes when switching to a different setup.

However, due to the rain, numerous teams were hindered before they could gain momentum, limiting them to using only their standard bikes.

Ugh, rain… We prepped two bikes for the test, but didn’t get any laps done. Looks like I’ll be treating my mechanics to drinks tonight. 🙈😂 – Frankie (@frankiecarchedi) June 3, 2024

Rainfall has resumed at Mugello, prompting all the riders to return to pit lane.

Acosta clocks the second fastest time, trailing Binder by just 0.033 seconds, with both riders on KTM bikes.

Pedro Acosta has now become part of the event, riding his GASGAS Tech 3 KTM motorcycle.

Brad Binder and Joan Mir have entered the fray, with the KTM racer surpassing his teammate Miller by more than a second to claim the lead.

Miller shaves off more than 0.4 seconds on his recent lap, bringing his time under the 1 minute 51 second mark.

Jack Miller has clocked the quickest time for KTM, completing a lap in 1:51.330 seconds. Currently, only Miller, Vinales, and Savadori have finished their laps.

Acosta commented, "There are numerous developments from Pierer Mobility, but I'm unsure about the overall strategy."

"I don't have numerous items to evaluate because my role doesn't involve much testing. My focus is mainly on maintaining my bike and working on my fundamentals. We faced significant challenges this weekend, particularly with the types of corners that have been problematic for me all season. Hopefully, we can discover some solutions." – Fernandez
