Movistar Yamaha MotoGP's Maverick Viales and Valentino Rossi were back on track for the first free practice sessions at the Autodromo del Mugello. Viales was in fine form in the morning, but a crash in the afternoon cost him valuable track time, leaving him in fifth position in the combined timesheets. Rossi focused on both getting a feel for the track and assessing his condition ahead of this weekend's Gran Premio d'Italia Oakley, and set the fourteenth fastest time of the day.
