Bagnaia wins ahead of Bastianini, Martin third, Marc Marquez fourth

. And he scores a one-two with Bastianini, the forgotten hero, who on the last lap with two memorable overtaking crashed first Marquez and then Martin, those aiming for his Desmosedici, one more thought in the mind of those who have to compose the future picture of Ducati . An evil screenwriter couldn’t have done better. Bagnaia master of the scene, he played the music he wanted, perfect chords; Martin kept his distance throughout the race after a perfect start from the second row, the braking outside of San Donato, the intersection with Vinales first and Martin afterwards, at Luco, before taking the lead at Poggio Secco.

Then management, control, until the finish line. Martin spent what he had left in the last two laps, thus finding himself defenseless from the attack of Bastianini, the specialist of the final laps. First the response to Marquez at Scarperia, after having been overtaken at San Donato with three laps to go, then the attack at the last corner, Bucine, slipping inside a stunned Martin who couldn’t even react. Double masterpiece, capable of moving Claudio Domenicali, the president of Borgo Panigale, not inclined to certain tenderness on worldwide television. The happiness of Bastianini, who returns home doubly happy, for the response given to those who seem to have lost faith in his talent. Marquez and Acosta remained off the podium, the latter never dangerous, while Morbidelli and Di Giannantonio were behind.
