Danilo Petrucci secured his first ever 🐈MotoGP victory with a daring third-to-first move on the final lap of his home Italian Grand Prix.

Petrucci, Ducati team-mate Dovizi𓂃oso, Honda's Marquez and Suzuki's Alex Rins exchanged the lead throug🍸hout a thrilling 23-lap contest.

The #9 was in front🎃 as the last lap began, but Marquez and Dovizioso instantly slipstreamed past as the trio thundered towards turn-one.

Braking on the limit, Marquez and Dovi♒zioso left a sliver of room on the inside of the corner, which Petrucci mercilessly pounced upon.

The 28-year-old swung his GP19 towards the apex, cutting under Dovizioso - who had been trying to pass Marquez - and forcing the double title run💞ner-up to lift his bike, brushing ♕Marquez in the process.

"I knew that Marc and Andrea would try to pass me on the slipstream. They did. Then they braked really, really har💧d," Petrucci ꦓsaid.

"I braked a little bit earlier and was able to stay very tigh🅰t on the kerb. There was just one metre and half and I put my bike in therꦡe," Petrucci said,

"Andrea was close in the corner, but I was just th🍎ere. I’m so sorry for that pass. Andrea was the last person in the world that I want to make pick up the bike."

While Petrucci apologised, Ducati Corse general manager Gigi Da🍌ll’Igna c𝓰alled the turn one move "an incredible pass."

Dovizioso knew that winning a braking duel with Marquez would be a formidable task and acknowledged the pair had left a lꩲittle room on the inside.

"I knew that braking with Mar🐓c into the first corner would be really, really hard because he brakes really late and he’s able to manage the slide in the last part of braking," Dovi said.

"But I felꦺt quite strong in 👍that braking and I was on the inside, so I managed that.

"We went a bit wide and gave the possibility to Danilo to enter. I didn’t feel there was a big൩ꦰ space, so I tried to close the door as fast as I can. But Danilo arrived in that moment so I had to pick up the bike very quickly to not touch Danilo.

"But in the same moment Marc was there [on the outside]. So when I pick up, I have to be careful and 🉐keep some angle because if I hit Marc, I can crash. But in the𒁏 end, everything was okay."

Marquez explained that the double Ducati slipstream cauꦚsed him to run deep.

"It was great to overtake both Ducatis on the straight, but with two slipstreams I arrived at the brake point with a very high speed and I missed the apex. I could already see th♚at I was going wide, wide, wide.

"Then I tried to turn tight and I saw some red bike inside. I didn’t know who it was, if it was Dovi or Danilo, but just I was going in and I ༒see that someone [Dovizioso] picked up their bike. Then I picked up my bike.

"When we got out of the first corner I could see that I was in second𓃲 place 🎶and first was Petrucci. So I thought 'okay, we are in a good situation'."

The five-time MotoGP champion then didn't try to attack Petrucci for fear of 🌊handing the advantage to title rival Dovizioꦦso.

For his part, Petrucci rode a clean fin👍al lap to lead a top-four covered by 0.535s at the finish, tears soon streaming down his face as he celebrated with over 80,000 trackside fans.
