Ducati's Francesco Bagnaia extended his lead at the top of the MotoGP world championship after he rode to victory at his home Italian Grand Prix on Sunday for his second sprint-race double of the season.
Bagnaia was joined on the podium by the two Pramac Racing riders Jorge Martin and Johann Zarco while VR46 Racing's Luca Marini was fourth, as four Ducatis finished in the top four in their home race in Mugello.
"The perfect weekend. I wasn't expecting a race like this... This is one of the best weekends of my life," said Bagnaia, who had the Italian flag draped around his neck.Red Bull KTM's Jack Miller had a blistering start from the line to surge ahead before turn one but his former team mate Bagnaia was quick to pick him off and retake the lead on the opening lap.
Miller dropped down the standings when Alex Marquez sped past three riders on his Gresini Ducati, making contact with the angry Australian in a risky overtaking manoeuvre that nearly led to a wipeout. The Spaniard has yet to finish a race this season and as he slid off at turn 15 and into the gravel, the six-times champion stood over his bike with his arms outstretched in pure frustration.
