Francesco Bagnaia brilliantly held off a fast charging Fabio Quartararo to claim his second con꧃secutive MotoGP win in Misano. 

As the🎃 lights went out, it was Bagnaia from pole who got the best launch to retain his lead. 

After initially getting past Jack Miller i🅰nto turn one, Fabio Quartararo was then repassed by the Australian on the outside of turnꦿ two. 

Bagnaia’s opening lap was a sensational one as he already gapped 𒐪team-mate Miller by 1.2 seconds. 

Jorge Mar👍tin crashed on lap four after several position swaps with Quartararo for third. The Pramac rider lost the front at turn 14. 

The gap between Bagnaia and Miller stabilised at around 1.3 seconds, while a similar margin was in Mill﷽er’s favour over Quartara෴ro. 

The man on the move with seven laps gone was Enea Bastianini as he r🍌eeled in Aleix Espargaro and Marc Marquez, before completing back-to-back overtakes for fourth.

Bagnaia’s lead then doubled on lap ꧙nine (2.5 seconds) as Miller ran wide at turn 12, as did Quartararo in third.&n🃏bsp;

As the race approached midrace distanceℱ, Quartararo began closing down Miller forℱ second. 

Quartararo then got ahead of Mille📖r with 14 laps to go - turn six. The Ducati rider tried to get back past on the maജin straight but was unable to so under braking.

After making his way from the 🐓third row up to fifth, Alex Rins suffered yet another race crash - his sixth this season. Iker Lecuona also had a fall a few laps prior.

Then came a scary moment fꦓor Bagnaia as his rear tyre marked up quite considerably and Quartararo reduced a 2.8 second lead to 1.2s. 

Bagnaia responded on lap 21 to increase the gap back to 1.5 seconds, however, Qua♓rtararo continued to close in during the final five laps. 

Quartararo reduced the gap to just three tenths at the start of the𓂃 penultimate lꦯap, but Bagnaia’s impressive sector three enabled him to keep the lead into the final corner. 

Quartararo got as♉ close as we saw all race on the final tour, however, Bagnaia put in a sensational final lap to hold on, while Bastianini came home third for a maiden MotoGP podium. 

Miller was ❀relegated to s🃏ixth on the final lap as Marquez and Mir both got ahead of the factory Ducati. 

Miller regai🅘ned fifth after the flag as Mir was dropped a position for exceeding track limits.
