MISANO (Italy): Ducati’s Francesco Bagnaia won his home San Marino MotoGP with a dominant display from pole on Sunday.
Defending champion Joan Mir is 67 points adrift in third.
The Italian, who celebrated his debut win in the premier category last weekend in Aragon, came under intense pressure from championship leader Fabio Quartararo in the closing laps.
But he had enough left in the tank to hold off Yamaha’s French rider.
Despite missing out on adding to his five wins this term Quartararo, 22, still had plenty to smile about.
