MotoGP: Francesco Bagnaia wins Italian Grand Prix for first time
Italy's Francesco Bagnaia won his home Grand Prix for the first time to move up to fourth in the MotoGP Championship standings.
The Ducati Lenovo rider finished ahead of Championship leader Fabio Quartararo, with Aleix Espargaro third.
Enea Bastianini and Alex Rins - third and fourth in the Championship respectively - crashed out.
Marc Marquez was 10th in his final race before taking a break for surgery on an arm and shoulder injury.
Pol Espargaro and Joan Mir crashed early in the race and 25-year-old Bagnaia took the lead with 15 laps remaining, holding off Quartararo at the Mugello Circuit in Tuscany to claim his second win of the season.
"I am already without my voice, I have screamed too much," Bagnaia told BT Sport after walking to the fence to celebrate with supporters.
"I am happy to have won this race at home in front of our fans."
