There are currently no riders on the circuit, suggesting that the Mugello trial may have concluded prematurely, despite there officially being 30 minutes left.

Should Marc Marquez decide to hop onto the crimson Ducati for a quick ride?

For those who may not be aware, take a look at the significant announcement shared below…

With 90 minutes remaining in the Mugello test session, all participants have retreated to the pits because of adverse weather conditions.

Ducati introduced undisclosed new components but is unable to evaluate them due to rainy conditions.

Aprilia is aiming to refine their electronic settings and chassis design to enhance their performance on straight runs, ensuring they do not wear out the soft tires prematurely. Additionally, they plan to introduce new aerodynamic features for competition in the latter half of the season.

Maverick and Aleix have introduced a fresh launch mechanism on their Aprilia bikes.

MotoGP squads aimed to familiarize themselves thoroughly with their standard motorcycles, ensuring that any transition to an alternative model would highlight the variations.

However, inclement weather hindered numerous teams from reaching their full pace, limiting them to only using their standard motorcycles.

Timings for laps with slightly less than three hours remaining…

Persistent rain at Mugello ensures Brad Binder and Pedro Acosta remain at the top of the leaderboard, thanks to their early laps before the morning's rainfall.

Activity, admittedly sluggish, has been temporarily halted in Mugello.

The day has been wet with rain until now. Let's hope the weather gets better later today.

"There are numerous areas we're looking to explore. Among these is the introduction of a novel engine, but it's clear we also have significant enhancements to make in terms of electronics. Additionally, improvements in handling and traction are on our agenda. There's a lot on our plate." – Alex Rins

"We've devised a strategy targeting our shortcomings this season. If it proves beneficial in one aspect, it will also offer physical advantages." – Fabio Quartararo

Rain strikes again… Prepared 2 bikes for today's test but achieved 0 laps. Looks like I owe my mechanics a round of drinks tonight! 😂🙈— Frankie (@frankiecarchedi) June 3, 2024

Mugello is experiencing another rainfall, causing all riders to make their way to the pit lane.

Acosta secures the second quickest time, trailing Binder by a mere 0.033 seconds, making it a close contest between the two KTM competitors.

Pedro Acosta has entered the fray riding his GASGAS Tech 3 KTM motorcycle.

Brad Binder and Joan Mir have entered the fray, with Binder on the KTM surging ahead to claim the leading position from his team-mate Miller, surpassing him by more than a second.

Miller shaves off more than 0.4 seconds in his recent lap, breaking the 1 minute and 51 seconds threshold.

Jack Miller has secured the top speed for KTM, clocking in at 1:51.330s. So far, only Miller, Vinales, and Savadori have managed to finish their laps.

"Acosta mentioned that there’s a lot happening at Pierer Mobility, yet the strategy remains unclear."

Fernandez mentioned, "There aren't a lot of items on my agenda for testing since I don't have the capacity to conduct tests. My focus is solely on refining my motorcycle and my foundation. This weekend was particularly challenging for us, and it's mainly due to the kind of turns that have been a consistent hurdle for me throughout the season. Hopefully, we'll come across a solution."
