How to watch Italian MotoGP: Live stream and session start times
Your complete guide to the Italian MotoGP 2021 including session start times and details on how to watch.
The Italian MotoGP arrives with the MotoGP 2021 calendar shaping up to be a cracker as just one point separates the top two and another contender is closing in fast.
Last time out, the French MotoGP ended in a carbon-copy of the previous Spanish MotoGP as Fabio Quartararo qualified on pole and set the fastest lap before Australian rider Jack Miller stormed to victory.
The result sees Quartararo – who finished third in France – just one point ahead of Francesco Bagnaia who has been remarkably consistent in 2021.
Miller started the season with two ninth-place finishes and a retirement, but his pair of victories have put him up to fourth, ahead of reigning world champion Joan Mir who was forced to retire from the race in France.
Marc Marquez's return to MotoGP will have disappointed the six-time champion. He briefly led at Le Mans, but crashed out on the final corner of Lap 9. He will be determined to bounce back in Italy.
