Ducati turned Mugello into an even more Italian affair than normal, with the factory bikes decked out in a special blue livery to mark the start of the European Championship and the Summer Olympics. The race was not a classic, but it raised an awful lot of questions about where things stand in MotoGP at the moment.
Why is Pecco Bagnaia so perfect at Mugello? Is Enea Bastianini's revival enough to save his job? Why was Jorge Martin happy with just a third place? Where is Marc Marquez coming up short against the Ducati GP24s? And where did the pack find 25 seconds compared to last year's race? All this and more in our MotoGP reaction show.
