Mugello: Italian Grand Prix LIVE from 2pm
MotoGP World Champion Francesco Bagnaia has won his home Grand Prix in Italy, as he has done in the last two years. The 27-year-old triumphed at Mugello on Sunday ahead of his Ducati team-mate Enea Bastianini, who overtook world championship leader Jorge Martin in the final meters to take third place.
Bagnaia reduced the gap to the leading Spaniard to 18 championship points. The best KTM rider was once again young star Pedro Acosta from the Tech3 satellite team in fifth place.
Bagnaia catapulted himself into first place with a rocket start from fifth on the grid in the second corner and then controlled the race. Pole position man Martin on his Pramac-Ducati had to let Bastianini on the second factory machine pass him in the finish. The home team celebrated a double victory just 88 km from the factory in Bologna - and with a special blue livery in honor of the Italian sporting tradition at the home race.
Acosta in fifth place
Acosta finished in fifth place behind his Spanish compatriot Marc Marquez (Gresini Ducati) after starting seventh on the grid. For the 20-year-old, who will ride for the KTM factory team next season, it was his third best result in a MotoGP main race. He had finished third in Bagnaia's sprint victory the previous day. Acosta is also 70 points behind Martin in fifth place in the world championship standings. Brad Binder finished tenth and, as the better KTM factory rider, is seventh in the World Championship. The next race is the Dutch Grand Prix in Assen on June 30.
