MotoGP: Mugello explodes as Bagnaia takes home victory
The Italian fans were up on their feet at the Italian GP as their home hero led the way to a Ducati podium lock-out.
Sunday at the Gran Premio d’Italia Oakley is a day that Francesco Bagnaia (Ducati Lenovo Team) will keep fondly in his memory, as the Italian did the double in Mugello – from pole – and extended his Championship advantage from one single point to a very healthy 21.
Jorge Martin (Prima Pramac Racing) kept the Italian honest from start to finish but didn’t quite have enough to topple the number 1 as he was forced to settle for second, although only a second back.
The battle for third raged on all race long, finally seeing Johann Zarco (Prima Pramac Racing) fly through the field to take P3 and deny Luca Marini (Mooney VR46 Racing Team) a home podium. Marc Marquez was in that battle but again choked and fell. A moment entering the final corner would see Marquez lose the front in Turn 15, tumbling out of the race on lap six.
