The Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP Team showed encouraging pace during the Brembo Grand Prix of Italy Friday. Making the most of the dry conditions in the afternoon session, Álex Rins delivered a strong comeback performance to secure P9 and a direct entry into Q2. Following a crash in the Practice, teammate Fabio Quartararo finished in P17 and will have to go through Q1 tomorrow.

Rins made an impressive recovery after ending FP1 in P20. In the warm and sunny afternoon conditions, he quickly found his rhythm and showed strong speed throughout the session. Featuring inside the top 10 early on, he managed to defend his position during the final time attack. His 1'45.149s, set on lap 15/18, secured him ninth place and marks the second time this season he progresses directly into Q2.

Quartararo finished FP1 in P19: early signs were pointing to a challenging Friday. His afternoon was further disrupted by a hard crash in Turn 4 which brought out a brief red flag for track clean-up. Despite the setback, he was able to return to the session and post a best lap of 1'45.670s on lap 18/19 to place 17th in the Practice classification.

Track action resumes on Saturday at 10:10–10:40 (GMT+2) for FP2, with the qualifying sessions taking place from 10:50–11:30 and the 11-lap Sprint starting at 15:00.
