Pecco Bagnaia had everything in his favour today to put the knife in the coffin and make up for his disastrous weekend in Aragon during this Sprint at Misano. The Italian had the race in his hands after starting from pole. A pole that the official rider took advantage of very well, but not as much as Jorge Martin, who started even faster than him and snatched first position on the first lap and never let go until the finish. For his part, Morbidelli maintained his 3rd starting position, resisting Bastianini. Here is the commentary from the podium at Misano.
Jorge Martin (Pramac-Ducati/1.) : « yes, I finally win again! I'm very happy ! We worked very well, even if I had a bit of trouble in the tests. We tried to find perfection. It was difficult, I expected to be able to fight with 'Pecco', but I didn't expect such a departure. Then I thought I needed to 13 qualifying rounds, I attacked and concentrated to not make any mistakes. I am leading on the last two laps. Tomorrow is a different story, but I am confident. Thanks to the Italian fans ».
