Talking points from Thursday as MotoGP lands at the iconic Mugello for Round 9
Round 9 of the season brings us to a special place. The one and only Mugello is the magnificent setting that will see our latest 2025 chapter written, as Italy’s Francesco Bagnaia (Ducati Lenovo Team) looks to defend his recent unbeaten run on home turf following an upturn in fortunes last time out. But he’s up against a red-hot teammate in Marc Marquez, and the factory Ducati pair previewed the weekend ahead in the Pre-Event Press Conference alongside Italy’s most recent Grand Prix winner, Marco Bezzecchi (Aprilia Racing), and Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Pedro Acosta.
While you’re here, catch up on the Gear Up show to hear from Yamaha Factory Racing Managing Director, Paolo Pavesio, and Aragon Test star Manuel Gonzalez (Liqui Moly Dynavolt Intact GP) before track action begins at Mugello. Below, you can enjoy the best bits from Thursday too!
