Marc MARQUEZ of Repsol Honda Team gets the victory and the fastest lap at GP OCTO di San Marino e della Riviera di Rimini 2019 after a long and tough battle with Fabio QUARTARARO (Petronas Yamaha SRT), who concluded in second position by less than 1 second. The french rider had led the race for 26 laps on 27 but he was overtaken in the final lap by the spanish Honda rider, who started from the 5th position in grid.
Third placed is Maverick VINALES of Monster Energy Yamaha with a small gap of 1.6 seconds behind the winner. The Yamaha’s rider started from the pole position after a stunning weekend in free practice sessions and qualifying, but he has maintened the leadership for only two laps and since lap 4 he has been third. Fourth position in the home soil for Valentino ROSSI (Monster Energy Team) after a bad qualifying on saturday: he started from 7th in grid. Not a good grand prix for Ducati Team with both Andrea DOVIZIOSO and Danilo PETRUCCI who had not able to find out a good balance of their Ducati at the home circuit: Dovizioso closed the race in 6th, while Petrucci in 10th.
With his seventh victory this season, Marquez consolidates the leadership in the World Championships: he has now 93 points more than Dovizioso (275 vs. 182).
