Morbidelli seals 1st MotoGP victory in San Marino
Print Edition
Petronas Yamaha’s Franco Morbidelli produced a dominant MotoGP display to win the San Marino Grand Prix yesterday after teammate Fabio Quartararo was forced to retire from the race at Misano.
Italian Morbidelli, who started second on the grid, finished in 42 minutes, 2.272 seconds to comfortably beat Pramac Racing’s Francesco Bagnaia and secure his first MotoGP win. Spain’s Juan Mir edged out seven-time MotoGP champion Valentino Rossi to take the final podium place, much to the disappointment of fans who returned to the grandstands with social distancing rules amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Frenchman Quartararo, bidding for his third win of the season, crashed after losing control of his bike at turn four and he had to play catch up after dropping to 20th. He hit the tarmac again after a visit to the pits on lap 20 before retiring from the race. The first six rounds of the season have produced five different winners, with Quartararo winning the first two races in Jerez. Ducati’s Andrea Dovizioso, who was seventh, leapfrogged Quartararo to lead the world championship on 76 points ahead of this weekend’s Emilia Romagna Grand Prix at Misano.
