Francesco ‘Pecco’ Bagnaia fired his Ducati to a historic MotoGP title in front of more than 170,000 fans at the Ricardo Tormo circuit in Valencia, Spain.
Francesco ‘Pecco’ Bagnaia fired his Ducati to an historic MotoGP title on Sunday, in front of 170,380 fans at the Ricardo Tormo circuit in Valencia, Spain. He becomes the first Italian to win the premier class since the great Valentino Rossi in 2009, the first Ducati rider to take the crown since Casey Stoner in 2007, and the first Italian to clinch the title on an Italian bike since the legendary Giacomo Agostini, five decades ago in 1972.
Bagnaia then settled into the pack behind his rival, who was struggling to follow the leaders. Around him riders skittled out of the race, with Marc Marquez, Jack Miller and Johan Zarco among those sent sprawling. Suzuki’s Alex Rins eventually took the win. The Japanese factory announced a surprise withdrawal from MotoGP racing earlier this year, and as a last waltz this was as flawlessly executed as they could have wished.
