Tuscany, June 22 (NationPress) - The initial laps of the Brembo Italian Grand Prix were nothing short of extraordinary as three title challengers engaged in a fierce duel from the very start. In the end, Marc Márquez claimed his 93rd career victory across all classes, achieving a remarkable win at Ducati's home circuit despite tough competition from Alex Márquez and Francesco Bagnaia.
In a thrilling twist, Fabio Di Giannantonio executed a stunning late-race surge to snatch the last podium position on the penultimate lap.
As the race commenced, Márquez and Bagnaia engaged in an intense drag race down to San Donato, with Márquez initially taking the lead. However, Bagnaia retaliated at Turn 2 to seize the lead on the first lap. The second lap saw Márquez reclaim the lead at the first corner, only for Bagnaia to make a bold attempt at Turn 6. The back-and-forth continued as Márquez fought back, and on lap three, the battle intensified with Bagnaia gaining Turn 1, yet Márquez responded aggressively. An accidental touch from Bagnaia sent him to third behind Alex Márquez.
Lap four brought more excitement as Bagnaia regained second place at Turn 2, holding off Márquez until a critical last-corner save nearly cost him his position. Alex Márquez capitalized on the opportunity, briefly taking the lead into San Donato before the order shifted again with Alex and Bagnaia trading positions, enabling Alex to pull ahead into Turn 3.
By the seventh lap, Márquez had reclaimed second place, and two laps later, he launched an offensive for the lead, first catching up to Alex and then overtaking him. Meanwhile, the battle for fourth escalated when Franco Morbidelli collided with Maverick Viñales, resulting in Viñales retiring from the race and Morbidelli receiving a double long-lap penalty, allowing Di Giannantonio to rise in contention.
In the final laps, Di Giannantonio unleashed an incredible burst of speed, overtaking Bagnaia at Turn 6 for third place on the second to last lap. He pursued Alex Márquez to the finish line but ultimately settled for a podium finish. Márquez crossed the line first, followed closely by Alex, with Di Giannantonio rounding out the podium.
