The first day of practice of the Italian Grand Prix of MotoGP at the Mugello circuit was plagued by incidents , among which stood out a strong fall of the pilot Michele Pirro(Ducati Desmosedici GP18), which forced his transfer to a hospital in Florence.

Pirro went through the floors in a spectacular way and was lying in the same senseless at the point where the bikes reach the highest speed of the entire Italian route, above, in almost all cases, the 350 km / h ., a situation that forced to show red flag immediately to race direction so that the pilot could be assisted by the doctors.

The accident was caused by driving the front brake of his Ducati very sharply when he was running at 355.2 km / h ., Which caused the wheel to lock and a sudden movement of the motorcycle that threw him into the air to hit with force against the ground and instantly lose knowledge.

The loss of knowledge motivated the immediate activation of the safety protocol so that the pilot could be assisted, although when he was transferred to the circuit clinic he had already recovered it and shortly after was evacuated to a hospital in Florence after being sedated.

The first medical part detected a head injury, thoracic and lumbar, in addition to a clavicular dislocation that forced its transfer to Florence to rule out more important injuries, according to the medical director of the competition, Angel Charte, said at the clinic's exit from the circuit. .

Regarding the classification, Iannone stopped his best time in 1: 46: 735 , ahead of the Spaniards Maverick Viñales (Yamaha YZR M 1) and Marc Márquez (Repsol Honda RC 213 V).

The Italian Valentino Rossi, local idol, finished in seventh place , with Jorge Lorenzo in the tenth, Andrea Dovizioso twelfth ahead of Dani Pedrosa (Repsol Honda RC 213 V), which improved somewhat his performance and Alex Rins (Suzuki GSX RR) fifteenth.
