MotoGP, Misano Grand Prix race: Martin wins, Bezzecchi 2nd and Bagnaia 3rd.

On the Misano Adriatico circuit, named after Marco Simoncelli, a track characterized by long fast corners and furious braking, the twelfth MotoGP weekend ends with the race, the moment that all the riders are waiting for to give their best. Jorge Martin starts in pole position followed by Bezzecchi and Bagnaia. The stands are packed and a red cloud of smoke bombs envelops the circuit. When the traffic lights went out, Martin maintained first position ahead of Bagnaia, Bezzecchi, Pedrosa and Binder, with Marquez 8th, Marini 10th and Quartararo 12th. Binder overtakes Pedrosa on the second lap, while the top 3 remain close. Quartararo drops to fourteenth position after 5 laps. On the sixth lap Bezzecchi and Bagnaia overtook and re-overtook each other, while Martin took advantage of this to create a small gap. Bagnaia isn't up for it and tries to force the pace so as not to let Martin escape. On the ninth lap Binder slips at the Carro braking point and leaves fourth position to an excellent Pedrosa, who is having an excellent weekend with the experimental KTM and is trying to move up towards the podium positions. The following lap, after a contact, both Pirro and Miller fall, while Marc Marquez climbs to sixth place. Halfway through the race the top 3 remain in unchanged positions and continue to impose a great pace, impossible for everyone else to maintain. With 10 laps to go, “Martinator” charges in and sets an incredible time which allows him to escape and create a gap of over 2 seconds against Bagnaia and Bezzecchi. On lap 19 Bezzecchi overtakes Pecco who is clearly in physical difficulty after the bad blow he took in Barcelona. With 5 laps to go Oliveira overtakes Marc Marquez for sixth place, while Dani Pedrosa comes threateningly close to Bagnaia's tail. After 27 laps of absolute domination Martin completed a perfect weekend by winning ahead of Bezzecchi and Bagnaia, tired and sore, but still heroic. 4th finishes a great and sumptuous Dani Pedrosa, 5th Vinales, 6th, Oliveira, 7th Marc Marquez, 8th Fernandez, 9th Marini, 10th Zarco, 13th Quartararo on a never competitive Yamaha.

Jorge Martin and his Ducati Pramac are perfect and complete a sensational "hat-trick", after the pole position and the victory in the sprint race. The next MotoGP appointment will be the weekend of September 24th in India.
