Dovizioso storms to victory at Italian GP with Ducati

ANDREA Dovizioso overcame pre-race sickness to win his home Italian Grand Prix for Ducati yesterday while Spaniard Maverick Vinales finished second on a Yamaha to increase his MotoGP lead to 26 points.

Dovizioso became the fourth different winner in six races this season and moved up to second place overall, ahead of compatriot Valentino Rossi who finished fourth for Yamaha. Italian Danilo Petrucci finished third on the non-works Octo Pramac Ducati to make it two Italians on the podium. The victory was the first in the top category of grand prix motorcycling by an Italian on an Italian bike on home soil since Gianfranco Bonera won the 500cc class on an MV Agusta at Imola in 1974. Vinales now has 105 points to Dovizioso’s 79, with Rossi on 75.
