Someone would have exclaimed at our house, on the Mugello route nothing far from the parent company of the two top Ducatis, the pair from Borgo Panigale. The winner of the Mugello Grand Prix it always reaffirms itself Pecco Bagnaia, which after last year imposes itself once again on its home track. The driver with the number one imposes himself with the virtue of the absolute champions, starting from fifth position due to penalties and after the first two corners he is already in the lead, leaving everyone in the stands and in front of the television stunned. His dance among the Tuscan hills lasts until the end of the race without any particular hitches or particular worries.
The Italian party thinks about matching it Enea Bastianini, partner of the current world champion. The Beast leads a race at a reasonable level, remaining with the leading group but then unleashes itself in the final corners, showing its warrior spirit. Number twenty-three wants to be part of the Italian party and in the last moments of the race he first overtakes Marquez and then, right at the end, he also gets rid of Martin. The party is complete, a blue one-two on an Italian motorbike on the day of the Republic Day.
Blues in the saddle and blue body
The two Ducati riders triumph among our local hills and do so on the quintessential Italian motorcycle brand, Ducati. But what makes these contours even more epic and of notable workmanship is also the chromatic component chosen by the Emilian team. The two bikes, painted blue for this home weekend, still leave red inserts as well as white and gold components. There are many tricolor flags in different places on the bikes to pay homage to Republic Day, and also good wishes for the national football team at the European Championships and the Italian athletes who will go to the Paris Olympics.
The look of the two Ducatis is impeccable and highly appealing, also considering the large increase in pre-sales of light blue merchandising like our national team. Surely the leaders of Borgo Panigale could take other special editions of their bikes for some other historical event or some date to remember, perhaps in some other iconic circuit of the world championship. On the other hand, the eye always wants its part, also to whet the appetite and imagination of its fans.
And after Mugello?
This weekend, under the Made in Italy brand, brings back to fans and enthusiasts a more exciting championship than ever. Pecco Bagnaia, who until now was in difficulty in all the sprint races on Saturday, was impeccable at Mugello, showing the best version of himself. The number one is back as a world championship champion and wants to confirm himself once again.
His teammate Enea Bastianini could be a precious ally for the rest of the season if he continues to have this deluxe performance he had during today’s race. Clearly Bestia will help his teammate in certain circumstances, even if he also harbors dreams of glory as he is not that far from Martin’s summit at 57 points.
Meanwhile, world championship leader Jorge Martin
he certainly cannot be satisfied with the conclusion of the weekend and the third place finish, like Marc Marquez only fourth at the finish but with at least the good news of the new contract with the official Ducati for next year. The next appointment will be in Assen in the Netherlands; a historic and extremely difficult circuit, it was once the home of the Doctor with the number 46. The title contenders will be able to relax and recharge their batteries in view of a sprint that will see four drivers involved until November. On the other hand, only 57 points separate first from fourth place in this very exciting season.
