Bagnaia deprived Martin of 21 life points

Two-time world champion Pecco Bagnaia He pointed to the Italian Grand Prix as a place to prove himself and begin to correct the start of a championship in which his great rival Jorge Martin had surpassed him in every aspect. And for the second year in a row he has achieved a double victory – his third consecutive Grand Prix race victory – which allows him to take 21 points this weekend and put himself in 18th place behind the Martinator when they enter the three-week break before the next GP in the Dutch Cathedral, TT Assen.

Although the end of Enea Bastianini’s race at Mugello left him without a podium in the last lap and a half. Mark Marquez, the only one in the top 4 who has ridden a Ducati since last year, the Cervera resident is also cutting off points this weekend from leader Martin. He entered with 41 points and left with 35, but lost ground to Banaya instead. He was 2 points behind him, and now he is 17.

Bastianini also took advantage of Mugello to justify himself. He has never been on the podium at Mugello in MotoGP and when it was already clear that he would lose his place in the official Ducati box, the Italian allowed himself the luxury of overtaking the two men who are vying for that position in the MotoGP race. the last lap and a half went first to Marc Marquez in third place and then to Jorge Martin in second place.
