The results of the Q1 of the Italian GP of MotoE 2024
The qualifying session began with Q1, in which took part Oscar Gutierrez (Axxis MSI), third in the championship, Jordi Torres (Openbank Aspar Team), two-time champion MotoE, and Andrea Mantovani (Klint Forward Factory), winner at Mugello a year ago.
It was Lukas Tulovic (Dynavolt IntactGP) who first took the lead in the session, setting a 1:56.603, but was immediately overtaken by Mantovani, who recorded a time of 1:56.594.
At this point, no one managed to do better than Mantovani and Tulovic because the rain had started to fall on the Mugello circuit. A few drops, which, however, caused Mantovani to crash at Casanova-Savelli corner. The Forward team rider was thrown from his bike, which continued its race without a rider towards the first Arrabbiata corner.
Mantovani and Tulovic thus advanced to Q2 but only Tulovic managed to take part because it was not possible to recover and repair Mantovani's bike in time.
