00:00:00Он был физзинг, но мы никогда не было это в Априле, но это всегда был Дucati тракт.
00:00:06Павло Боноро, который показывает ему его финал хит.
00:00:09Не волнуйтесь о том, что это массовая борьба между Априле и Дucati, так же.
00:00:17Поэтому вопрос о том, что они получают то, чтобы продолжить эту борьбу для Чемпионов.
00:00:24Продолжение следует, если бы он был Италиан, на Италианской байке.

00:11:12Вы будете бросать в полу, и он потерял все это место.
00:11:14И после того, как он сделал Леонид Матин,
00:11:18на начале, на начале, в начале, в Барселоне,
00:11:20Давиде Бривио выглядит крест-фолен, не ли?
00:11:22В этот движении для Раул Фернандес.
00:11:25Но Раул сказал, что, я не могу, я не могу,
00:11:28что мой карьер на льере, он говорил вчера,
00:11:31немного критикально, но о том, что его future.
00:11:33Мы открыли Давиде Бривио,
00:11:35но он будет вероться, но он начинает бросать Безо,
00:11:38и Масима Ривола будет говорить,
00:11:39что он не был у него в нашем factory,
00:12:09Да, абсолютно.
00:12:11Брэкс for Pedro,
00:12:12bringing that down to the apex.
00:12:14So much better than Marquez.
00:12:15He's going to be suffering in Sandinato,
00:12:17is Marquez, isn't he?
00:12:18The problem with this track is
00:12:19it's all change of direction.
00:12:21And if you're not fit, if you...
00:12:23Basically, now he's got no nerve issues with that arm,
00:12:26but he's got no muscle.
00:12:28He's lost so much muscle
00:12:29because he's not been able to train possibly.
00:12:31Yeah, you can see how lean and...
00:12:33and, well, you can see it's skin and bone, isn't it?
00:12:36So all this change of direction.
00:12:38It looks graceful on TV,
00:12:39but you have to muscle it through this part of the track.
00:12:42All the gyroscopic effect of the spinning wheels,
00:12:46discs and the engine.
00:12:47It's so heavy.
00:12:48The bike just wants to go straight.
00:12:51At the moment,
00:12:53still Bagnaya the fastest on track
00:12:55by a tenth from Busecki on the previous lap.
00:12:57They're one and two.
00:12:57Jorge Martins six tenths behind in third.
00:13:00Then Marquez is eight tenths back in fourth,
00:13:03holding up the likes of Pedro Costa
00:13:04and Firmino on the gear,
00:13:06and then Ayagura.
00:13:07Neil has had a fantastic start
00:13:08from thirteenth on the grid.
00:13:10Do not count.
00:13:11Ayagura out from the podium shout here.
00:13:13Not with 19 laps to go.
00:13:14Absolutely.
00:13:15He's only 2.8 behind your leader.
00:13:19And Ayagura is the man
00:13:21when it comes to the last quarter of the race.
00:13:23Where's this Peko Bagnaya been?
00:13:25And what's the change around?
00:13:26Why has it gone?
00:13:27You know, the honest answer is
00:13:28that this Peko Bagnaya has always been there,
00:13:30but he just goes missing.
00:13:33For no apparent reason.
00:13:34Well, last year, the pressure, the stress,
00:13:36the Marc Marquez factor alongside him.
00:13:39Absolutely.
00:13:39Surely that has something to do.
00:13:40The mental aspect of having Marc Marquez as your teammate,
00:13:42Marc winning all the races, absolutely.
00:13:45cakewalking the championship,
00:13:48mentally destroyed Peko Bagnaya.
00:13:50And this year, we hoped,
00:13:52we saw in pre-season a faster Peko Bagnaya,
00:13:55but just when the pressure's on, like I said,
00:13:58if he doesn't get a start, if he's in that group,
00:14:00for whatever reason,
00:14:01he just can't figure out how to pass people.
00:14:05And I don't know if it's front tyre temperature.
00:14:07We talk about that a lot.
00:14:08When you're in a groove, then it makes it harder.
00:14:11And that's why we talk about riders
00:14:12always trying to get to the front early on in races,
00:14:15to keep that front tyre pressure as low as possible.
00:14:19Yes, you get the cool air on your front tyre,
00:14:21and it brings down the pressure in it.
00:14:24It gets too high,
00:14:25and it's like you're riding with a balloon in your front wheel,
00:14:28and it just becomes unstable and impossible to ride.
00:14:30Marc Marquez has done an amazing job
00:14:32to hang on in front of Pedro Acosta here,
00:14:33where he's piling the pressure on corner by corner,
00:14:36and you know he's going to be feeling sore.
00:14:38He had surgery exactly three weeks ago today.
00:14:41Oh, I thought he was going to go for it there.
00:14:43To remove a screw,
00:14:45a couple of screws, bone fragments from his right arm.
00:14:47It wasn't keyhole.
00:14:48They had to open it up further
00:14:50to clear out all the bits in there.
00:14:52He also had surgery on his foot
00:14:54because he broke two metatarsals,
00:14:56so anything that he's doing in this race is impressive.
00:14:59Let's get that straight, first of all.
00:15:02Yeah, absolutely.
00:15:04Whether he's going to hang on to fourth place here,
00:15:06I'm not so sure.
00:15:07And this is where you're in a race like this, Gavin.
00:15:08This is the issue you have.
00:15:09Here we go.
00:15:10Pedro's surely going to have a look up the inside here.
00:15:12Yeah, he has.
00:15:13See, Marc just could not get it through beyond Etty 1 and 2.
00:15:16That's the most physical section,
00:15:18and you can see through that part of the track,
00:15:19he was holding up Pedro.
00:15:20Yeah, but is he going to be able to get past him?
00:15:22With the drive down towards Turn 1,
00:15:24I think he's almost past him before the line.
00:15:26I mean, the KTM this year, they've changed the aero on that bike.
00:15:29They've made it better for the corners,
00:15:30but worse for the straights, unfortunately.
00:15:33Yeah, and Pedro there.
00:15:34It's like fighting with one hand behind your back,
00:15:37as far as Pedro's concerned.
00:15:38Yeah, I might be able to get through.
00:15:39who have improved my turning.
00:15:41Unfortunately, getting it hooked up out of Puccine corner,
00:15:44getting it driving down towards Turn 1,
00:15:46and it's not to be.
00:15:47So, Marquez back to four.
00:15:49Pedro Acosta is fifth.
00:15:50They've now lost touch with the leaders.
00:15:52They are 1.7 seconds back on the front trio,
00:15:55who themselves are covered by just a second.
00:15:57Panyaya Pizeki-Martin.
00:15:59I was saying, one of the issues you've got, though,
00:16:00if you're in Marc's situation,
00:16:02at this point already, you're hitting that wall of...
00:16:04You're literally exhausted.
00:16:06Look how many laps are out to go.
00:16:07Yes.
00:16:07You go over the start-finish line, you look at your pit board,
00:16:10and it says L17, and you're like,
00:16:12there's no way there's 17 laps to go still, surely.
00:16:15How does this one pan out now between Banyaya and Pizeki?
00:16:18Pizeki's given himself a little bit of breathing room, hasn't he,
00:16:21and that's all to do with the front tyre pressure.
00:16:23Well, in the olden days right now, when I say the olden days,
00:16:25I'm going to say two, three years ago, you'd be...
00:16:28Here we go.
00:16:28This is a late move by Pedro.
00:16:32Pushes Marc Marquez wide.
00:16:33Oh, out again.
00:16:35Cheeky round the outside.
00:16:36Surely that's not going to pay off.
00:16:38Not because Marc Marquez there just ran it out to the kerb, didn't he?
00:16:41And that forced Fermi and Aldergeir to roll his throttle.
00:16:45Now, Acosta's done that to try and find a different way through on Marc Marquez.
00:16:49He's struggling in the changes direction,
00:16:50but I feel like we might get the same story all over again,
00:16:52unless Aldergeir compounds.
00:16:53Yeah, but essentially he's trying to pass Marc earlier,
00:16:55because he knows he'll just get passed straight back on the straight, so...
00:17:00Well, I thought Aldergeir was about to do him a solid,
00:17:03but not on this occasion.
00:17:04No, he is. Look.
00:17:05Oh, Marc was lining it up to drive down the straight there,
00:17:08but Aldergeir's got in his way, so Marquez goes back to sixth place.
00:17:12Aldergeir up to fifth.
00:17:13Acosta is up to fourth.
00:17:14But Marc Marquez on the 20-26 Ducati.
00:17:18The 25 goes the other way from Aldergeir.
00:17:20Acosta the meat in the sandwich.
00:17:22And having got ahead of him, I thought he was about to lose two positions there, Acosta.
00:17:26That was a little bit scary, then,
00:17:27because Acosta had a little wheelie there as he came over the crest.
00:17:29The arrow sort of stopped working.
00:17:31The two Mercians going at it.
00:17:33Yeah, so Aldergeir does get him.
00:17:35Back up at Luco Poggio Seco.
00:17:38So, that's Aldergeir, nine to fifth.
00:17:39Marc Marquez is reclaimed fourth.
00:17:41And look who's behind.
00:17:42Ayagura now waiting to pick up any pieces.
00:17:44Ayagura waiting patiently at this point in the race.
00:17:46Behind Pedro Acosta after what happened in Barcelona.
00:17:49Yeah, he's thinking, yeah, I'll just, I'll pick my moment.
00:17:53And yeah, anything here, it's often a lunge, isn't it?
00:17:56Into a...
00:17:57We've seen it there with Pedro Acosta before, a lunge into an S section.
00:18:00Also, that battling brings Fabi Gian Antonio into the mix.
00:18:04Unfortunately, his assault on the podium
00:18:07looks like it's going to be a long stretch here today.
00:18:11Broke his finger in Barcelona in all that incident with Alex Marquez,
00:18:14who, if you haven't heard, if you've only just joined us for the first time,
00:18:18fractured a bone in his neck, had a little bit of surgery,
00:18:21still with that foot.
00:18:22Other than that, really, a collarbone break as well.
00:18:26My goodness, it could have been so much worse.
00:18:28He's missing this and Hungary, probably another race or so.
00:18:31Michele Pierrot for him.
00:18:32And Joan Zarco, we know, has ruptured his knee ligaments completely
00:18:36on his left leg.
00:18:37He's going to be out for a while.
00:18:38We wish both those boys well in their recovery.
00:18:41A mistake from Aldeguer there.
00:18:43Easily done.
00:18:44And Pedro straight back in front of him.
00:18:48Meanwhile, look in the back of shot, you'll see that fluorescent-looking bike
00:18:51closing in pretty rapid now.
00:18:54Digis finding his flow.
00:18:57Yeah.
00:18:57Having had a horrendous start, terrible first lap.
00:19:00He had the pace of Banjaer and Bizecki at the front.
00:19:03Unfortunately, a really bad start has put pace to his race.
00:19:06He needed a good one.
00:19:07And so he's down in eighth place, but closing quickly on Agoura.
00:19:10And when Agoura gets to hurry up, he'll start making a few moves.
00:19:13And me and Aldeguer in front of him is also Larry at the best of times.
00:19:17So this could get spicy.
00:19:19We're watching Marc Marquez in fourth.
00:19:21Pedro Costa in fifth ahead.
00:19:23Jorge Martin is losing touch with Banjaer and Bizecki.
00:19:26Banjaer's pace, Neil.
00:19:28He is holding firm in the low 146.
00:19:31He looked great all weekend, hasn't he, really?
00:19:32When you think about it.
00:19:33He started free practice one.
00:19:35Looked unreal.
00:19:36We spoke to his team manager and he's like...
00:19:39You feel like you've heard this many times.
00:19:41He seems different this weekend.
00:19:43He's had a really good test at Mizano on the road bike.
00:19:46Smashed the road bike lap record on the Panigale.
00:19:50Everything's good.
00:19:51Everything's positive.
00:19:52And then the spin race, he wasn't great.
00:19:56He was mid...
00:19:57What was he?
00:19:58Ran about seventh or eighth for quite some time.
00:20:00Worked his way through in the end a little bit.
00:20:01He finished in seventh.
00:20:03Yeah, finished seventh.
00:20:04But it was an average race, wasn't it?
00:20:05Yeah.
00:20:06But this way, before the start of this race,
00:20:08I didn't expect him to be leading, did you?
00:20:09He is, he is.
00:20:10And this would be such a shot in the arm for Ducati.
00:20:13Mark Marcus said before the weekend,
00:20:14Oh, I believe that Ducati's still the best bike.
00:20:17And I am the problem.
00:20:18And in that, he's sort of inferring that the other Ducati riders
00:20:21perhaps should be doing a little bit better with it.
00:20:23Well, the gauntlet laid down.
00:20:25Peco Bagnaglia has picked that up.
00:20:27And at the moment, he's leading Marco Pasecki,
00:20:29who seems to have responded a little bit on this lap.
00:20:31The cat was hovering around half a second.
00:20:33I think Pasecki feels like he's got more to offer Bagnaglia here.
00:20:39This is the best we've seen.
00:20:40We saw Bagnaglia in French Corp.
00:20:42He looked good there as well.
00:20:44This is the best we've seen from him since Japan last year.
00:20:47Yes, he won the sprint in Malaysia last year,
00:20:50but this is the best Bagnaglia.
00:20:53Wide there.
00:20:54Not a lot, but just missed the apex.
00:20:57And that is encouragement for Marco Pasecki
00:20:59as they went through turn one.
00:21:00And the gap closed again.
00:21:02It was 0.2 across the line now between Bagnaglia and Pasecki.
00:21:05Pasecki on that last lap, 0.15 quicker than Bagnaglia out front.
00:21:10Ducati versus Aprilia.
00:21:11The centenary celebrations.
00:21:13I remind you it would also be a centenary of wins
00:21:15for Ducati Lenovo, the factory Ducati team, if you were to do it.
00:21:19And to do it at the Italian Grand Prix,
00:21:21well, they forgive him for all his transgressions
00:21:24over the last few races, would Ducati?
00:21:26He might be on his way to Aprilia,
00:21:28but for the Ducati flag to be flying high here at Mugello,
00:21:32there is a battle for national pride and supremacy at stake here.
00:21:36Not just between Bagnaglia and Pasecki,
00:21:38but between Ducati and Aprilia, one and two.
00:21:41Yes, still a long way to go as well.
00:21:43I'm just looking.
00:21:44Martin's not that far off, is he?
00:21:45Just sat there.
00:21:46He's the second behind Marco Pasecki.
00:21:48Perhaps giving his tyres a bit of a rest.
00:21:50Not a bad idea at this point of the race.
00:21:52Because his pace is actually matching that
00:21:54of both of the riders in front of him.
00:21:57Behind, but Marquez somehow, somehow still hanging on
00:22:01in front of Acosta, Alvager and Agora.
00:22:03And we do know that Marquez tends to get better as the tyres go off.
00:22:08He just has this otherworldly control of his rear tyre.
00:22:12Here we go.
00:22:13Look at that.
00:22:13Speed through there.
00:22:15Change of direction.
00:22:16Turning in a bit earlier.
00:22:18Here we go.
00:22:19You can see the turning of the Aprilia.
00:22:21Closing at that point.
00:22:22Normally the Ducati just fires out that little bit better.
00:22:27We're in the slipstream.
00:22:29I don't think...
00:22:30I think he's going to start picking it up about now.
00:22:33Closing in, but...
00:22:34He's gone to the other side.
00:22:35Exactly.
00:22:35So, he's gone to that side.
00:22:37Essentially, he's not even having a look at passing him.
00:22:39So, again, down into turn one.
00:22:41Almost at the halfway point of this race.
00:22:4310 laps down.
00:22:44Still 13 to go.
00:22:45And still, Peko Banaya taking the lead from his pal,
00:22:49Marco Pazeki, early in this race.
00:22:51He leads us.
00:22:53The gap back to Jorge Martin in third now at 1.1 seconds.
00:22:57Pace, 1.46.5 for Banaya.
00:23:00Pazeki, 1.46.4.
00:23:02Martin, 46.4.
00:23:03Marquez, 46.6.
00:23:05For the first time in a while,
00:23:06quicker than all the riders behind him.
00:23:08Apart from Raul Fernandez, who did a 1.46.3.
00:23:11Alex Rins has crashed out at turn one from 15th place.
00:23:15That promotes Jack Miller into the points.
00:23:17He's ahead of Fabio Quartarra.
00:23:21Rins has had a decent weekend.
00:23:22He has had a really good weekend.
00:23:23It's probably his best weekend of the year.
00:23:25Shame for it to end like that.
00:23:28Transforming that Yamaha, isn't it?
00:23:30Gradually getting there.
00:23:31They're a long way on.
00:23:33Look, Jack Miller's 14 seconds back.
00:23:34But, you know, definitely baby steps.
00:23:38Absolutely.
00:23:39It's been a tough weekend for their number one rider.
00:23:41Fabio Quartarra has just not had the feeling at all.
00:23:44This is Raul Fernandez,
00:23:46and he's bringing through another late race specialist
00:23:48in Ineo Bastinini with him.
00:23:51Bastinini, unfortunately, as far as he was concerned,
00:23:54expected him to have the pace this weekend.
00:23:56But, unfortunately, qualifying down in 8.11,
00:23:59a bit like the other riders, like Madura and co.
00:24:02for Gian Antonio, qualifying's cost him.
00:24:05Well, Fernandez, fastest man on the track.
00:24:06Yeah.
00:24:07Like, what a shame.
00:24:08You look at the...
00:24:08Like, he's seven seconds off.
00:24:10Like, he's had to work his way through
00:24:12about six different riders.
00:24:13Bastinini just obviously being the one he's just passed.
00:24:16He's now closing in on Fabio di Gian Antonio.
00:24:22So, Dania it is, who leads us.
00:24:26On this lap, they'll get to the peak of this race.
00:24:29Halfway point.
00:24:30Fabio di Gian Antonio on the rear of Ayogura.
00:24:33That is the back of the seventh place.
00:24:35Martin is closing in.
00:24:37The man in third was 0.3 of a second faster on that lap.
00:24:40As you can see there on the screen,
00:24:42the gap's down to 0.7.
00:24:43It was just over a second the lap before.
00:24:45A bit like in France, wasn't it?
00:24:47Where he closed things down
00:24:49and passed Marco Bezzecki to win the race.
00:24:51It was those three out front on that occasion as well.
00:24:54Vanya crashed out.
00:24:56Martin hunted and in the last laps,
00:24:58Bezzecki had nothing for him.
00:25:00I wonder if that story's about to come true
00:25:02and it might be a Spaniard celebrating today.
00:25:05The gap is the closest it's been for a long time.
00:25:07Oh, it's just got back out.
00:25:08But it was at 0.6 then through the first sector
00:25:11between Martin and Bezzecki, third to second.
00:25:15Carl Crotchlo has entered the pits at the back.
00:25:18I'm not surprised.
00:25:19I'm not surprised.
00:25:20Do you know what?
00:25:20I looked at the lap times earlier on.
00:25:22Carl was going faster than he's gone all weekend.
00:25:24Like you say, he was hanging on to the back of Pirro.
00:25:26But I'd spoke to him earlier on this weekend
00:25:28and he said, I'm getting arm pumped.
00:25:30Of course he's going to get arm pumped.
00:25:32There's nothing worse when your forearm pumps up.
00:25:34You just literally can't feel your fingers.
00:25:35Pekka Bagnaro wide at the front.
00:25:39He's all encouragement.
00:25:40Oh, we're going to crash into there, Bastionini.
00:25:42Again.
00:25:43Trying to tag on to Raul Fernandez.
00:25:45Yeah.
00:25:46Bastionini has never been the kindest circuit to him.
00:25:48At the one podium when he was the Ducati factory man
00:25:51but he has crashed out of 10th place at turn 10, Corontayo.
00:25:55So here we go.
00:25:56At the front, oh, a little pump there for Marco Bezzecki.
00:25:59He tried to line up Bagnaro on the straight there.
00:26:02He should be able to get the draft.
00:26:04Yeah, maybe just...
00:26:05Well, that Ducati's fast, isn't it?
00:26:07He's picking up the draft a little bit late.
00:26:11Down towards turn one they go.
00:26:13Still Bagnaro holding firm against Marco Bezzecki.
00:26:17Has he got anything left in the tank?
00:26:19His pace into the 47s for the first time.
00:26:22Behind Jorge Martin does a 46.8.
00:26:25Agoura with a 46.6.
00:26:27There are faster people out on the racetrack.
00:26:29We've seen Bagnaro do this in the past.
00:26:31Dose it out the pace that he knows he can run
00:26:33to save something for the latter stages.
00:26:36We're into the run-in now.
00:26:3812 laps down, 11 to go.
00:26:40And Petko Bagnaro still leads
00:26:41but now under some serious pressure
00:26:44from Marco Bezzecki, the championship leader.
00:26:47His pal behind him.
00:26:48Exactly.
00:26:49And again, Martini's faster on that lap.
00:26:51Not by much.
00:26:52Closing the gap.
00:26:54How do you read it now, Neil?
00:26:56It's really hard to call.
00:26:57Yeah, at this point it's a difficult one.
00:26:59It really is.
00:26:59It's a bit of a game of chess, isn't it?
00:27:02All lapping these three, the same sort of lap times.
00:27:05You just feel like that Aprilia turns better.
00:27:08So essentially, to achieve the same lap time,
00:27:11you feel like you have to work a bit harder on the Ducati.
00:27:13So maybe, tyre-wise, the Aprilias have just got a bit more underneath them at this point.
00:27:19However, what we've seen on the straight is...
00:27:22Ducati's got an advantage.
00:27:23...that Ducati looks like it's got the edge.
00:27:25So that could mean we have got a grandstand finish coming.
00:27:29Bezzecki getting closer through the beyond FESs at every corner.
00:27:33He's running that beautiful replica to Alex Zanani, the Italian hero who recently passed away.
00:27:39Legend of Italian sport.
00:27:41We've got Kimi Antonelli watching on from pit lane as well.
00:27:45Can he do one for his fellow Italians here?
00:27:48He's got a good run on this occasion on Pecco Bagnaia.
00:27:51Down towards turn one.
00:27:52Across the line they come.
00:27:53Can Bezzecki switch to the inside on Pecco Bagnaia?
00:27:57Who is so late on the brakes, he's surely going to run wide here, Bezzecki.
00:28:01He does.
00:28:01Both of them have.
00:28:02But Bezzecki hangs on at the front.
00:28:05Bagnaia needs to do something quickly.
00:28:08Otherwise, Bez will be gone.
00:28:10Tell you what, that was some lap from both the riders there.
00:28:12Bagnaia did a 46.5.
00:28:16That's his fastest lap for five laps.
00:28:17For a long time, exactly.
00:28:20In the championship, Marco Bezzecki will be opening up a 21 point lead on his teammate Jorge Martin.
00:28:26Bagnaia needs to do something and he needs to do it quickly.
00:28:29Otherwise, his and Ducati's hopes a victory have gone.
00:28:32It's now Marco Bezzecki who leads down to Casanova Cervelli,
00:28:35where the Aprilia fans are sat this weekend.
00:28:38I mean, it's a classic move.
00:28:39Got a bit of draft, then doesn't need to out-break him.
00:28:42He just got to, he has to level Bagnaia, which he does.
00:28:46Bagnaia's pushed a little bit wide as well with the, let's say, the force off the bike or the aero.
00:28:50This is, this scrap's still going on.
00:28:53These two have been literally glued together the whole race.
00:28:56That's the buddies, Marco Marquez and Pedro Acosta.
00:29:00He'll know his inside leg measurement after this, well, Pedro Acosta.
00:29:03Oh, Marco got that all wrong, that section there.
00:29:06You just feel like he's, his tongue's dragging.
00:29:09It's all right, Marco, still ten laps to go.
00:29:12At the front, Bezze is pulling away from Bagnaia, it's 0.6 in one lap.
00:29:16This is going to be some lap time at this stage of the race.
00:29:18But Marco Bezze, it could be the lap that guarantees Aprilia their first Italian Grand Prix victory in MotoGP.
00:29:25Pedro Acosta, we ride on board, we're down towards Puccini corner.
00:29:28Yet again, he goes back, goes past Marc Marquez.
00:29:31Yet again, Marc Marquez turns underneath Pedro Acosta.
00:29:34He's got a big red Ducati in his face as they drop down the hill through Puccini.
00:29:38And yet again, as Marc Marquez applies the gas onto the straight, there is nothing Pedro Acosta can do.
00:29:45No, not even in the slipstream.
00:29:47He loses ground.
00:29:50At the front, Marco Bezze did a 46.2.
00:29:53Wow.
00:29:54One minute 46.2, his fastest lap for the last six or seven.
00:29:57He's been biding his time, Bagnaia, and he has killed off the challenge of his teammate.
00:30:02His teammate, his stable mate at VR46, the academy of course, who now is going to fall into the clutches
00:30:08of Jorge Martin.
00:30:09Martin in turn, the gap across the line to Bagnaia, 0.3 of a second.
00:30:14We are watching the Marc Marquez, Pedro Acosta battle for fourth place.
00:30:19But ahead of us, Bagnaia versus Martin is on.
00:30:23We battle for the 2024 championship.
00:30:25Bagnaia is not going to battle for this championship this year, but Martin needs those points.
00:30:29He needs to get through into second place.
00:30:33He needs to keep the pressure on Bez, who's looking for a fourth Grand Prix victory of the season.
00:30:38Here we go.
00:30:39Trying to line up the pass again, down to Scarborough.
00:30:41Tricky corner to pass on, downhill, off camber.
00:30:46Lots of people losing from that part of the track.
00:30:48Acosta cannot find a way through on Marc Marquez.
00:30:52We go back on board with Marc Marquez, looking at Acosta's bike.
00:30:56Acosta is just trying to work everything out.
00:30:58How am I going to do this?
00:30:59I need to do it.
00:31:00He needs to get by, I would say, under the chicanes.
00:31:04Early.
00:31:04One at the top.
00:31:05Luca Poggiuseco.
00:31:06One of those.
00:31:08Matarasi, Borgo San Lorenzo.
00:31:09Two and three.
00:31:10Four and five.
00:31:11And give himself chance to build the lead.
00:31:13Yet again.
00:31:14Yet again.
00:31:15In the corner.
00:31:16Meanwhile, we can see on our helicopter shots that Jorge Martin is lining up a move on Peco Banaya.
00:31:22There it is from the helicopter right now.
00:31:24Jorge Martin on Banaya.
00:31:27Aprilia versus Ducati.
00:31:28And again, Banaya has the edge.
00:31:32But Martin, late on the break.
00:31:34He's going to go wide.
00:31:36He is, but so did Banaya as well.
00:31:37Yeah, they both did.
00:31:38He was respectful.
00:31:38Gave him a lot of room.
00:31:40Oh, Acosta has got through at turn one on this occasion.
00:31:43And he's made it stick.
00:31:44Now this is a chance perhaps for Acosta to stretch away.
00:31:48To break three.
00:31:48Yeah, yeah.
00:31:48To have a clear lap.
00:31:50To carry a bit more corner speed.
00:31:51Change direction with a bit more aggression.
00:31:54So, Martin up to second.
00:31:55Banaya drops to third.
00:31:56Acosta up to fourth.
00:31:57And Marquez drops to fifth.
00:31:59A terrible lap for the Centenary team at Nucati.
00:32:06Banaya's going to be okay for third.
00:32:07He's four seconds ahead of Pedro Acosta.
00:32:11And Marquez now has to worry about Ayagura behind him.
00:32:14And Fabio Di Gianantonio, who have dispatched Fermin Aldeguerre.
00:32:18Yeah.
00:32:19Digi's done a good job, hasn't it, like I say.
00:32:21Unfortunately, his race was done at the start.
00:32:23This is the move.
00:32:25Oh.
00:32:26Digi's been strong through there all weekend, hasn't it?
00:32:29Yeah.
00:32:29A Rabiata one and two.
00:32:30The Aprilia's looked good through there, but so does Digi.
00:32:33Now, Ducati.
00:32:35Right, we've been talking about it this weekend.
00:32:36Mark Marquez says he still thinks that Ducati's the best bike.
00:32:39Obviously, the Aprilia's one and two.
00:32:41It looks great out on there.
00:32:43But how far away is the Ducati?
00:32:44It's not a million miles, but the Aprilia is the best bike at the moment.
00:32:48It's got the overall balance of it just seems that little bit better.
00:32:52It's a lot stronger down the straight.
00:32:53You've seen that today.
00:32:54But that's not everything that we've learned.
00:32:56Well, as the engineers at Yamaha used to say,
00:33:00on a track there's normally one long straight and lots of corners,
00:33:04so you need to build a bike that's really good at going around corners.
00:33:07Obviously, it's important on a bike that can go down a straight as well,
00:33:10but it's not the be-all and end-all.
00:33:11There's always the Yamaha answer.
00:33:13Now they've gone V4, they might think slightly differently.
00:33:16They would like a bit more power, I think, down there,
00:33:18at least be able to put it to ground.
00:33:20I'd say a digi's a chance of getting fourth here.
00:33:23So, Pedro Acosta again down into turn one.
00:33:26Again, Mark Mark is right so close to his rear wheel.
00:33:30So, Mark had got back in front of Acosta across the line.
00:33:35Pedro is not going to know when he's beaten here.
00:33:39And Mark does.
00:33:40Yeah, exactly.
00:33:42And Ayagura is thinking,
00:33:44I've got to try and somehow pass these two.
00:33:46I can actually lap quicker than them.
00:33:48By far.
00:33:49But I'm just...
00:33:50You can't...
00:33:51Do you know what?
00:33:52It's really hard to pass.
00:33:53Two riders that are being really aggressive on each other
00:33:55because they make themselves so wide.
00:33:58Unpredictable as well.
00:33:59Exactly, because essentially,
00:34:00they're trying to set each other up at every corner.
00:34:04Behind, he has to be careful
00:34:05because Favini Gianantonio's looking at him,
00:34:08thinking, that's a bit of tasty meat for me.
00:34:11At the top of your screens on the left-hand side,
00:34:14Marco Vizzecki leading comfortably now by one point.
00:34:166.6 seconds from Jorge Martin.
00:34:18This will be his crowning achievement so far in MotoGP.
00:34:22A win in the Italian Grand Prix on the Aprilia.
00:34:25Never done before.
00:34:27New top speed record.
00:34:29He matched Jorge Martin's 229 miles per hour yesterday.
00:34:35And what a weekend it would be
00:34:36on the Ducati Centenary celebrations for Aprilia to take a 1-2 at home in Magellan.
00:34:43If you look at this lap, Pedro has pulled the gap on Marc Marquez.
00:34:46Not enough though, is it? That won't be enough.
00:34:48I don't think so.
00:34:50Ayagura lurking.
00:34:51No, it's definitely not enough.
00:34:52You just see in there Marc's lunges, doesn't he?
00:34:55If we stay on board here, you'll see proper Ducati power.
00:34:59Already accelerating away.
00:35:00Hey, away from Agura.
00:35:02He laid down some black rubber there, did Marc Marquez.
00:35:05On board with Pedro Acosta.
00:35:06And once game, Marc Marquez breezes past.
00:35:09Once game, Pedro Acosta on the brakes tries to outdo.
00:35:11Marc's had a bit of a wobble on there.
00:35:13He's got to go wide on this occasion.
00:35:15And he goes really so wide that Ayagura comes through.
00:35:18Oh, no.
00:35:20Marc has recovered.
00:35:22He can't stop it like he would want, can he?
00:35:25Down into Sandinato.
00:35:26See, because of what happened a couple of weekends ago with Ayagura,
00:35:29he's actually been a little bit hesitant.
00:35:31He didn't want to just stick his bike in and make contact with another rider
00:35:34and knock someone off again.
00:35:35Yeah, reminder, he took Pedro Acosta out in the final corner
00:35:38as they battled for fourth place back in Barcelona.
00:35:41He had to make the move.
00:35:43He was one of those.
00:35:43If he didn't, he'd have hated himself.
00:35:45But then he hated himself even more, said he was embarrassed by what he did.
00:35:48He tried to attack Acosta, rode through Acosta's leg,
00:35:52and unfortunately, copped a penalty himself of three seconds
00:35:56that knocked him back down through the order to eighth place.
00:36:03Ayagura lining up.
00:36:04Marc Marquez.
00:36:05Oh, that's a good move from Agura.
00:36:07Out of a rabbiata, using the drive of the Aprilia.
00:36:10Oh, but he's pushed Marc wide off the edge of the racetrack.
00:36:13He rejoins behind Bavidi Gian Antonio.
00:36:16Gian Antonio's going to have a look here straight away at Agura.
00:36:18But Agura strong.
00:36:21And Agura holds on.
00:36:23So Marc Marquez, in a blink of an eye,
00:36:26crossed the line within a whisker of fourth place,
00:36:30was briefly in fourth,
00:36:31and now finds himself back in seventh.
00:36:34Yeah, that's the reality for how close MotoGP is at the moment.
00:36:39Digi looks so class, doesn't he?
00:36:41Yeah.
00:36:41He's so smooth, immaculate.
00:36:44He's been good today, despite his poor start to the race.
00:36:48So, Vizeki leads 2.3 in the gap to Martin.
00:36:51Bagnaya 1.8 behind.
00:36:52The gap from Acosta to Bagnaya, closing by half a second a lap.
00:36:56With five laps to go, that one's not quite done yet, I would suggest,
00:37:01as Marc Marquez comes back at Bavidi Gian Antonio in Sandinato.
00:37:05I thought he couldn't get it stopped at Turbo.
00:37:07Digi up the inside here.
00:37:07Digi up the inside here.
00:37:09Digi's aggressive.
00:37:10Really late, that one is.
00:37:11That's right on the edge, that.
00:37:13His leg came off there from Di Gian Antonio.
00:37:16That was one.
00:37:17He ran Marc to the paint on the edge of the racetrack.
00:37:21There's history there.
00:37:22There is a lot of history there.
00:37:24I've got to say, I do respect Digi though.
00:37:26He never gives an inch to Marc.
00:37:27He seems more with Marc than with anyone else.
00:37:30Than anyone else, yeah.
00:37:31But I think he's learned it from the past.
00:37:34If you give Marc an inch, he will take advantage of that situation.
00:37:38So, you've just got to tough it out with him.
00:37:40Don't get me wrong.
00:37:41I know that's easier said than done.
00:37:43He'll believe he can beat Marc Marquez.
00:37:45That's what these sorts of moves are doing for Pavini Gian Antonio.
00:37:49With Ayagura now.
00:37:50Look at that.
00:37:51Look at that.
00:37:52Look at that.
00:37:53I mean, that's great.
00:37:54That's turning.
00:37:55That's the Aprilia over the top out of Araviata.
00:37:58Down to Scarparia Palagio.
00:37:59Track dropping away.
00:38:01And the Aprilia just eating up the ground to the KTM in front of it.
00:38:05We're about to get to the point where Ayagura on the track out Aprilia
00:38:09will make it three Aprilias in the top four.
00:38:12Gap to Fania in front at 2.7 seconds.
00:38:16If I can get past, there is a chance of Ayagura catching Fania.
00:38:20Right.
00:38:21He needs to sort it out here, doesn't he?
00:38:23Line up.
00:38:24Because he should have the drive on the KTM here.
00:38:27On board we are with Agura in fifth.
00:38:29Pedro Acosta in fourth in front.
00:38:32And now just look.
00:38:33He's shooting.
00:38:33Look at the drive he gets.
00:38:36Right.
00:38:37He's a perfect slipstream here.
00:38:38He's going to breeze past.
00:38:39Nothing that Acosta could do.
00:38:41Acosta takes to the inside.
00:38:42Oh, but that's great from Ayagura.
00:38:45One Moto2 world champion to another.
00:38:47Agura comes through.
00:38:48Makes it clean on Acosta this time.
00:38:50Acosta turns to the inside.
00:38:52Contact though.
00:38:53As Agura turns back in front.
00:38:54That was aggressive.
00:38:56But he had every right to do that.
00:38:58Absolutely.
00:38:58Two aggressive riders going for the same piece of tarmac.
00:39:01Occasionally.
00:39:02Especially with the modern riding style.
00:39:04You can't see where the rider is on the outside.
00:39:06Yeah.
00:39:07Agura well within his rights to do that.
00:39:09There was contact there.
00:39:10But Ayagura hangs on to fourth.
00:39:13And now.
00:39:142.5 behind Banyaya with four laps to go.
00:39:16I don't think it's going to be enough.
00:39:18But Ayagura's got so much more speed.
00:39:20I reckon Agura could get to the 46s.
00:39:22Poof.
00:39:24Yeah.
00:39:24It looks worse than it is from that angle.
00:39:27But Agura was passed.
00:39:27Oh, this is a lunge.
00:39:28This is a lunge.
00:39:30Van Dicci.
00:39:31Oh.
00:39:31Is that a rabbiata?
00:39:32It is.
00:39:33Of course it is.
00:39:33Of course it is.
00:39:34I mean, we're going to name that Digi corner.
00:39:35I mean, he's so fast there.
00:39:37Just threw the bike in.
00:39:40And now poor old Pedro Acosta's got Marc Marcus to contend with again.
00:39:43Like, not again.
00:39:44Oh, Marc flew Scarparia behind him.
00:39:47It's been a really good battle to watch this, hasn't it?
00:39:50Unfortunately, it's a battle for fourth place.
00:39:52Between Agura to Gian Antonio, Acosta and Marc Marquez in seventh.
00:39:58Out the front.
00:39:58Pizeki still leads.
00:39:592.8 back to Martin.
00:40:01Should be able to cruise to the line now.
00:40:03Banyaya to Agura as the gap we're watching is already closed by two tenths of a second.
00:40:07What's it going to be across the line, Neil?
00:40:09Keep an eye on it, because I reckon if Agura can have a clean lap...
00:40:11It's going to be nearly half a second.
00:40:13Look at this for a shot.
00:40:14Look at this for a shot.
00:40:14Could be a second quicker.
00:40:15Look at that for a shot at that speed.
00:40:18Fancy sitting on the back of that?
00:40:20Look at that.
00:40:23352 kilometers an hour.
00:40:25Yep.
00:40:26Just a small matter there, around about 217 miles an hour.
00:40:30That's all right.
00:40:32So the gap has closed for the battle for the podium.
00:40:35Agura closing in on Banyaya.
00:40:37It's down to 2.1.
00:40:38It was 2.5.
00:40:40Right.
00:40:41He's going to run out of laps, I think.
00:40:42This is the lap.
00:40:44Depends what Banyaya can do if he can respond.
00:40:47There's Brad Binder in ninth place.
00:40:49Further back.
00:40:49He's gone a bit deep.
00:40:50He's got Schwan Mir behind him.
00:40:51These are the point scoring positions.
00:40:53Binder in 10th.
00:40:54Mir in 11th.
00:40:55Right behind him.
00:40:56Diogo Moreira, another good ride.
00:40:58Alongside, in between the factory duo of Mir and Marini.
00:41:03Marini in 13th.
00:41:04Then there's six seconds back to Morvidelli.
00:41:06And another 1.7 back to Toprak.
00:41:09Toprak's beating Fabio Quartararo here at Mugello by 3.10s.
00:41:13Miller's also in close attendance with Pinales and Pirro behind.
00:41:17That's impressive.
00:41:18Very impressive.
00:41:19Toprak had a difficult Barcelona, didn't he?
00:41:21And a difficult...
00:41:22What was it, that practice start the other day?
00:41:24Yeah, the practice start, heading towards the last corner
00:41:26and then looked like he was trying to do a stoppie
00:41:28and lock the front and slightly embarrass him.
00:41:32Easily done though, I guess, with these Michelin front tyres.
00:41:37Diogo Moreira having a look at Joan Mir down towards Scarparia.
00:41:42That's 12th to 11th.
00:41:44Brad Binder hanging on in 10th place.
00:41:49Pedro Acosta, just on that previous lap,
00:41:51did hold off Marc Marquez down the straight,
00:41:54who I think has run his race now.
00:41:56Fastest man on track.
00:41:57It's Fabio Di Gian Antonio in fifth.
00:41:59He's closing in on Ayagura again.
00:42:01I just want to see Agura's lap time though now as well,
00:42:04as they come across the line.
00:42:06Oh yeah, he's just going to run out of laps for getting third.
00:42:12So Moreira has another look at Mir.
00:42:14We can see on our helicopter that Di Gian Antonio is trying to close in on Agura.
00:42:18The gap to Banaya, 1.8 seconds.
00:42:21Two laps remaining in this Italian Grand Prix.
00:42:24Oh!
00:42:25That's wide from Acosta, sorry.
00:42:28Will that drop him back? No, Marc Marquez.
00:42:30I'm going to say luckily for him, I think Marc Marquez has just...
00:42:33Chanted.
00:42:34...hit the wall.
00:42:36And who can blame him?
00:42:37Yeah, but it's been a good training sort of building round for him.
00:42:42We were speaking to people in the paddock in the Ducati camp.
00:42:46Whoa!
00:42:47Pedro Acosta, like a missile, a passenger on that bike down towards Turn 1 then,
00:42:51was lucky not to have collided with Fabio Di Gian Antonio.
00:42:54I think it was all he knew what he was doing there, but it didn't look pretty.
00:43:00Yeah, Marc Marquez, we were told, people at Ducati fancy Marc to have a go in Balaton Park.
00:43:05Hungarian Grand Prix, of course, next week.
00:43:08Very, completely different circuit to this.
00:43:09If this is fast, flowing, open, wide, beautiful scenery,
00:43:13Balaton Park is like a car park on the edge of an industrial estate in Slough.
00:43:17Not to put Slough down, but come on, that is the cliche.
00:43:20You can't, you still can't imagine Marc being fit enough by next week,
00:43:25seven days from now, in a race.
00:43:28I mean, it's going to take him a week to recover from this.
00:43:30Yeah.
00:43:31Cal Crotchlo, when he spoke to us earlier this weekend,
00:43:33after a couple of years of the bike said,
00:43:36I felt like I've been hit by a bus.
00:43:37Rolf Fernandes sneaks through on Aldegar for eighth place.
00:43:42He's had a comeback ride after blowing first corner.
00:43:50Marco Bezzecki, one lap to go.
00:43:54Alex Zanardi's helmet, replica on his head,
00:43:58would have been proud of this kind of performance.
00:44:00There's a lot of pride around Italy at the moment in their motorsport,
00:44:03with Kimi Antonelli in Formula One in tennis with Yannick Sinner,
00:44:08although it hasn't worked out for him at Roland Garros this week.
00:44:10But Marco Bezzecki looking to inject some more pride into this proud sporting nation,
00:44:16who, of course, won't be at the World Cup later on this year.
00:44:19It's in motorsport where it's happening for him,
00:44:21and it's not just Bezzecki too, is it?
00:44:24It's Aprilia.
00:44:25And doing this, Neil, you were a Ducati factory man.
00:44:28What will this mean to Ducati to see this,
00:44:32see Aprilia winning in Mugello?
00:44:34This will sting, as you know.
00:44:37Ducati are incredibly proud.
00:44:40But for Massimo Rivoli...
00:44:41Oh, hang on a minute, Ayagura's done an incredible lap,
00:44:44and he's now closing in.
00:44:45He's only... Here we go.
00:44:46Here we go.
00:44:47Banyaya on Agura.
00:44:48Here we go.
00:44:49I took my eye off him, because a lap ago...
00:44:50Well, it was not possible.
00:44:51It was 1.8 seconds.
00:44:52Exactly.
00:44:53He took a whole second off Banyaya on that last lap.
00:44:56Well, this is podium or gravel trap for Ayagura.
00:44:59Not again.
00:45:00There's literally half a lap to go.
00:45:02Not even.
00:45:03To make a lockout.
00:45:04Oh, Banyaya's already lost a load of time there.
00:45:06He's wide in every corner here now, Banyaya.
00:45:08Here we go, here we go.
00:45:09He's going to do him in the final corner.
00:45:10He's going to do him in front of the Ducati stand here.
00:45:12Oh, no, he can't.
00:45:12In currentio.
00:45:13He's going to cut up the inside.
00:45:14What's this?
00:45:15Is he going to go wide?
00:45:16Well, Banyaya holding it.
00:45:17He's going to turn under him, isn't he?
00:45:19And he...
00:45:19I wonder if he can just hold on...
00:45:22...on sheer power of the Ducati in the final corner.
00:45:25Meanwhile, Marco Pizzetti's already there in that final corner.
00:45:28Turning into it.
00:45:29He's going to win the race.
00:45:30Martin's going to be second.
00:45:31Ayagura...
00:45:32Oh, gets it sideways into Puccine.
00:45:35Banyaya turns underneath.
00:45:36That's brilliant for Banyaya.
00:45:38On the run to the line, the Ducati I'm sure will hold off.
00:45:41Marco Pizzetti makes history for a brilliant, their first ever win in the Italian Grand Prix.
00:45:46Jorge Martin makes it a one and two.
00:45:48Ayagura pipped to the line by Pekko Banyaya.
00:45:52He takes a creditable podium for Ducati in third.
00:45:55Agura fourth.
00:45:56Famili Gian Antonio only three tenths back from the podium in fifth place.
00:46:00Agosto is sixth.
00:46:01Marquez is seventh.
00:46:03But, Neil, Aprilia have done it.
00:46:05A perfect weekend.
00:46:07And where Kimi Antonelli's dominating proceedings in Formula One,
00:46:10Marco Bizzetti and Aprilia are doing it here in MotoGP.
00:46:14And this will be the most special of all to win the Italian Grand Prix.
00:46:19What have we learnt this year?
00:46:21This man, this man here, Bizzetti, works for a Sunday.
00:46:25He's not bothered about them first early practice sessions of where he finishes.
00:46:28He stays out on a medium tyre, does loads of laps, gets information for his engineers
00:46:33and he sets that bike for a 25 lap, 23 lap here this weekend race.
00:46:38That's where the big points are.
00:46:40Like I said, he suffered in the shorter sprint races.
00:46:42Made a few mistakes as well this year.
00:46:45But in the main GP races, he is your man.
00:46:49You won at Brands Hatch, Neil, riding at home at the top level.
00:46:53What about Marco Bizzetti winning his first ever Italian Grand Prix?
00:46:59Honestly, it is what dreams are made of.
00:47:02This is the one.
00:47:04Every hour you've ever spent training, every injury, every operation, every rehab you've
00:47:09gone through is for this moment.
00:47:11He'll have dreamed, he'll have watched his hero, Valentino Rossi, who won here how many times on the bounce?
00:47:17A lot.
00:47:18It was seven in a row.
00:47:18Seven in a row.
00:47:20And these hills were obviously fluorescent yellow for Valentino.
00:47:24And literally, this man will have grown up watching that.
00:47:28Like I said, obviously Rossi is every Italian rider's hero.
00:47:31He's been his mentor throughout his career.
00:47:34And, yeah, just incredible.
00:47:35Just incredible.
00:47:36I'm so pleased for Bez.
00:47:37He's riding around, sat on the tanker like that.
00:47:39It's a bit Valentino Rossi-esque as well.
00:47:42For Marco Bizzetti, the protégé.
00:47:54That was the team radio down at Aprilia.
00:47:57Do you think they enjoyed that one?
00:47:59There won't be any pushing people around in there later on today.
00:48:02I'll be pushing Massimo Rivola to the bar to buy the champagnes.
00:48:06The only negative about this victory is, yeah, we have to race next weekend.
00:48:10So you can't really celebrate too much tonight.
00:48:14Just to go through the rest of the order then.
00:48:16Bezzecki and Marti making Aprilia 1-2.
00:48:19Banyaya 3rd.
00:48:20Agoura was in fourth place with Dijon Antonio 5th.
00:48:23Acosta 6th.
00:48:24Marquez 7th.
00:48:25Fernandes 8th.
00:48:26Fermin Aldeguet 9th.
00:48:27Moreira in 10th.
00:48:29Bindu was 11th with Mir, Marini, Morbidelli in 14th.
00:48:32The top rack exceeded track limits on the last lap.
00:48:35So he's relegated to 16th.
00:48:36Jack Miller takes the Yamaha spoils.
00:48:39He takes the last point scoring position in 15th.
00:48:42Vinales and Quartararo 17th and 18th.
00:48:44Michele Piru at the back.
00:48:47And Ava Sinini and Alex Rins crashed.
00:48:49Cal Crutchlow retired as Marco Bezzecki goes to where his fans are.
00:48:53Where the Aprilia fans are.
00:48:54Where myself and Natalie were earlier today.
00:48:56And every time they showed Bez on the big screen, there were massive cheers.
00:49:00The chainsaws were revving.
00:49:01The flares.
00:49:02The purple flares flying high in the sky.
00:49:05He has won his home Grand Prix.
00:49:08Marco Bezzecki is going to be a national legend.
00:49:12Yeah.
00:49:12This is the dream.
00:49:14This is the one.
00:49:14They've opened the gates for him.
00:49:16Look at that.
00:49:17Superb.
00:49:18Oh, drink it in, Marco.
00:49:20And he's a funny old character, isn't Bezzecki?
00:49:23He's his own man.
00:49:25He's nothing like a Valentino or a Peckle.
00:49:28He's pretty dry.
00:49:29Yeah, he's got a sense of humour.
00:49:31Yeah, quite dour at times.
00:49:33But it's because he's got a single...
00:49:35He's got a head, Johnny.
00:49:36He's got a goal.
00:49:37Of course he has.
00:49:39He's a nice lad.
00:49:40He is.
00:49:40He does things hidden behind the scenes.
00:49:44That people don't see.
00:49:45He's a good guy, is Marco Bezzecki.
00:49:47More frustration for Ayagura, Ali.
00:49:50His weekend's done again on Friday, ain't it?
00:49:52With qualifying.
00:49:54Well, Saturday morning with qualifying.
00:49:56I'll tell you what, Trackhouse.
00:49:58They are having some season.
00:50:00A win yesterday.
00:50:01There's Paolo Benora congratulating Davide Privio in the...
00:50:04Agura garage.
00:50:06He did everything he could here on this last lap.
00:50:08Yeah.
00:50:10Had to try and make the move.
00:50:12Did it.
00:50:13Bañaya's wise to it.
00:50:14Turns underneath him.
00:50:15They did well, did Bañaya there, actually.
00:50:18Bit of the old Peco today.
00:50:20Yeah.
00:50:20I'm pleased to see that from him.
00:50:22Same.
00:50:24Five seconds off the win.
00:50:25Perhaps not where he'd expect to be.
00:50:27But that Aprilia is a real piece of a bike.
00:50:30No, that's the reality.
00:50:30That's where Ducati's at.
00:50:32A bike length between Bañaya and Agura across the line.
00:50:36But, you know, Trackhouse, you know.
00:50:39Justin Marks, Davide Privio's on his way.
00:50:41Don't know who's going to take over there.
00:50:43Sounds like Ralph Fernandes will be offered a deal.
00:50:46But whoever takes the other bike in that squad.
00:50:50If it turns out that A50 as good as this year's bike.
00:50:54That is a plum ride.
00:50:56Well, it's the million dollar question of next year.
00:50:59Who's going to build the best bike?
00:51:01Nobody knows.
00:51:02Yeah, I think he's happy enough with that.
00:51:05Mark Marquez in seventh place.
00:51:07Bravo was his comment to Mauro Grasili down there.
00:51:12Ten seconds off.
00:51:13Not bad, that.
00:51:15Impact Fermi.
00:51:16Massimo Rivola comes to embrace Jorge Martin.
00:51:22New sponsor for them this weekend as well.
00:51:24Not a bad way to celebrate that alliance.
00:51:27Aprilia's best result before this weekend in MotoGP.
00:51:30Of course, they want tongues in 125 or 250s at this track.
00:51:34Best result was at third place for Aleish in 22.
00:51:37And Jeremy McWilliams.
00:51:38In 2000.
00:51:39In the year 2000 and the 500s.
00:51:41Good old Jezza McWill still doing it at 62 at the Northwest earlier this year.
00:51:47And he's still rapid.
00:51:50Good ride from Digit.
00:51:52It is, yeah.
00:51:52Starting seventh, drop back to 11th and 40s way through to fifth place.
00:51:57Kiss to the camera from him.
00:51:59I'm pleased for Panjaya here.
00:52:01Me too.
00:52:03Last time as the Ducati rider that he will ride at the Italian Grand Prix.
00:52:07Well, for next year anyway.
00:52:10On the tank for Marco Buzecchi as he rides around.
00:52:13They will open the gates for a big track invasion here.
00:52:17There will be a sea of fat.
00:52:19That's a great shot.
00:52:19That's a great shot.
00:52:20That reminds me a bit of Marco Simoncelli.
00:52:22Yeah.
00:52:23Yeah, you're right.
00:52:24He often had the echoes of Osic did Marco Buzecchi with his curly hair.
00:52:26And that's a...
00:52:27That reminds me of that famous photo of Marco Simoncelli sat on top of his bike.
00:52:33Just taking in the plaudits after a race victory.
00:52:36Yeah, he won the championship, I think.
00:52:38Yeah.
00:52:40Emotional in so many ways.
00:52:42He came, he was doing it.
00:52:43Coming past the Simoncelli grandstand at Arabiata.
00:52:46He was, yeah.
00:52:48What a feeling, eh?
00:52:52The tricolone held the loft here from Marco Buzecchi.
00:52:56You know what's nice as well?
00:52:56You get that lovely breeze as well at the end of a race.
00:52:59You're absolutely exhausted.
00:53:01It's been a hot day today.
00:53:03He rode well.
00:53:05Ralph Fernandes.
00:53:05It was a mistake in turn one.
00:53:07Listen.
00:53:07He rode well.
00:53:09Eighth place across the line.
00:53:10It says 16th on lap one.
00:53:12He dropped much lower than that.
00:53:14He passed quite a few people on the opening lap.
00:53:16A despondent look to the camera though, isn't it?
00:53:19From Ralph Fernandes.
00:53:20Yeah, the track invasion will start shortly.
00:53:23And that means when Buzecchi takes to the podium, Neil.
00:53:26We've been there.
00:53:27We've done it before.
00:53:28You stand up and look down.
00:53:30We filmed it.
00:53:30And you look down on this sea of people adoring.
00:53:34In adulation of you.
00:53:36And what you've performed for their entertainment.
00:53:40Absolutely.
00:53:41There must be no feeling like it.
00:53:42Valentino Rossi got to enjoy it.
00:53:44Dobby got to enjoy it.
00:53:45Pega Bagnaya got three years of it.
00:53:48But now it's Marco Buzecchi's turn to drink it in.
00:53:51Exactly.
00:53:53That is a lifelong memory, Gav.
00:53:57Yeah.
00:53:58I know it's one of mine.
00:53:59Having just seen it.
00:54:00Having just seen that sea of people down there.
00:54:02It's one of mine being down there.
00:54:04Yeah, that's it.
00:54:04For Valentino Rossi when we were stuck by where they waved the flag.
00:54:08That year.
00:54:08I don't know what year would that have been.
00:54:10I can't remember.
00:54:10Maybe 15.
00:54:13I tell you what.
00:54:14I've said this so many times I'm going to say it again.
00:54:16I would love to work for this man.
00:54:18He leaves nothing out there.
00:54:21That's the absolute limit always.
00:54:23Pedro Acosta sick across the line at the end.
00:54:26Maximum effort from him.
00:54:28No quit.
00:54:30He won't mind that.
00:54:32It's just one of those things, isn't it?
00:54:33Yeah.
00:54:34Little collision.
00:54:35Out of turn one.
00:54:38Eyes right shoulder to Pedro's front wheel.
00:54:41This is it from on board.
00:54:44He's trying.
00:54:45He's trying to sneak up the inside.
00:54:46But eyes always going to come back.
00:54:48He's every right to.
00:54:49And he's ahead.
00:54:51And Pedro Acosta can't see him.
00:54:53He's hidden underneath the bike with his elbow and shoulder on the ground.
00:54:58Ucho down there.
00:54:59Let's see.
00:54:59Solucci.
00:55:02Congratulates.
00:55:03Marco Bozeki.
00:55:05May have a Ducati team, but part of the VR46 crew, of course.
00:55:12That'll feel good.
00:55:13The ride down as the track invasion begins.
00:55:18Bozeki stopped here to be congratulated.
00:55:23By all his pals.
00:55:24Friends and family, you would suggest.
00:55:28Valentino Rossi not here this weekend.
00:55:48Can be a few sore throats and sore heads at Aprilia tonight.
00:55:54Not too much time for celebration.
00:55:56Reminder, we go again in just, well, five days' time for practice.
00:56:00At Balaton Park at the Hungarian Grand Prix.
00:56:06I think we'll see some different results there.
00:56:09Completely different track.
00:56:11It's one of those tracks I feel like the rider can make the difference.
00:56:14It's quirky.
00:56:16Pedro Acosta.
00:56:18Yeah, absolutely.
00:56:18Absolutely.
00:56:20A grafter's track, isn't it?
00:56:21Yeah.
00:56:22A scrafter's track.
00:56:23Aldeguay was good there last year.
00:56:24Yeah.
00:56:24If you remember.
00:56:25Marc Marquez absolutely dominated, but I don't know if he'll be strong enough.
00:56:30He'll fancy his chances.
00:56:34Also, it's a sort of weird track that if you're the championship leader,
00:56:36you don't want to take too much risk.
00:56:38It's like, let's come out of here and get some decent points.
00:56:41Don't know me wrong, he'll start the weekend, Marco Bezzecki,
00:56:44with the intention of trying to get a double victory.
00:56:49Bezzecki and Martin battled for the Moto3 World Championship in their day.
00:56:54Now they are battling for the MotoGP World Championship.
00:56:5817 points between them.
00:57:01Bezzecki on 1.73, Martin on 1.56,
00:57:04Gian Antonio in third on 1.34.
00:57:07Yeah, it's 15 rounds to go.
00:57:09So, there's a lot of points out there, isn't there?
00:57:15Banaya moves ahead of Marc Marquez.
00:57:24And Alex, of course.
00:57:28Where's Kimi Antonelli?
00:57:30These two are good pals.
00:57:31Kimi's been down to the ranch.
00:57:35Vaipaura.
00:57:37Vaipaura.
00:57:37That basically means, it's scary to watch you.
00:57:40You are incredible, basically.
00:57:54Scarily good, basically.
00:57:55Для Кимми Тебез.
00:57:57Он не ошибся.
00:57:59Он очень особенный, как он тоже.
00:58:00Он тоже, как он.
00:58:04Я помню, что я говорил с Риал 4.6 Академи.
00:58:07Кимми, он как-то из-за этого.
00:58:09Он может быть, но он не может.
00:58:11Но он такой же, как он.
00:58:12Вот, Гав.
00:58:15Да, тракт-инважный начался здесь.
00:58:17Это обычно означает, что мы не можем оставить этот circuit
00:58:19за около четыре часа.
00:58:21Мы не понимаем, что мы, в этом рейс-траке.
00:58:23Возможно, это не то, что в Мигелло.
00:58:27Мы просто должны быть уверены, что все осталось.
00:58:29Я надеюсь, что все осталось в микрофокус.
00:58:31Потому что все эти фанты будут уничтожить его.
00:58:34Мы видели это уже, не мы?
00:58:36У нас очень интеллигентный дом, как же.
00:58:38Просто в центре этого тракта.
00:58:41Они у нас есть большой бирьер-гарден.
00:58:43И они будут идти в бирьер-гар.
00:58:45Мы будем идти в бирьер-гар.
00:58:47Мы сейчас будем идти в бирьер-гар.
00:58:49Бекко Баняя.
00:58:51У нас с Джак Апплиярд.
00:58:53He has been voted your rider of the race by the fans.
00:58:56What's he got to say to Jack?
00:58:57Third place today.
00:59:02Peko, what an effort, what a final lap.
00:59:04You left absolutely everything out there to take a podium here at Mugello
00:59:10after what has been such a tricky start to the year, a rollercoaster 18 months.
00:59:14What does this mean to once again be back on the podium on home soil?
00:59:18So I just keep everything for the crowd here.
00:59:26It was really tough because in the last laps I was struggling a lot with the rear grip
00:59:30and I saw that the Aprilia and Medzecchi were doing a fantastic job.
00:59:35I just tried to leave no space for I.
00:59:40But thanks to everyone, thanks to my team that did a fantastic job
00:59:45and we really deserve this kind of results.
00:59:49Brilliant ride, well done.
00:59:50Grazie mille.
00:59:51Didn't get to stand on the podium, of course, last time in Barcelona.
00:59:55He inherited it after the event with a tyre pressure penalty for Joan Mir.
00:59:59And this is how he held on to third place, Neil, through the final corner.
01:00:03Do you know what's happened also?
01:00:04Ayagu has given him too much room.
01:00:06But I think it's playing on his mind what happened at the last race, on the last lap,
01:00:10taking out Pedro Acosta.
01:00:12If it had passed him closer there, it would have actually forced Banyaya a little bit wider.
01:00:18Too aggressive at the last one, too much of a gentleman at this one.
01:00:23It's the fine lines.
01:00:25Nervous moments for Ducati, watching Banyaya come across the line.
01:00:35That brother and mum down there for Peko to celebrate a podium.
01:00:42Back-to-back podiums, of course, but this time he gets to enjoy it.
01:00:45Right, Jorge Martin didn't see too much of him, but another excellent ride into second.
01:00:48Let's not forget, he had six crashes last week.
01:00:51Well, Jorge, after the bruising weekend in Barcelona, you've bounced back in great style here.
01:00:55Second yesterday, second today.
01:00:57You must be really proud of your efforts.
01:01:00Yeah, thank you very much.
01:01:01I'm very happy, you know, the team worked in an amazing way during all the weekend.
01:01:06I was trying to get back that confidence, but, you know, I got a struggle this weekend.
01:01:11We need to continue working, but I have to be really grateful to Aprella for the job.
01:01:16Marco today was impressive.
01:01:18Congrats to him because winning for sure in Muglielo for him is special.
01:01:22But, yeah, I think we have to continue this progression.
01:01:25Great job tonight.
01:01:26Thank you.
01:01:27That is a disappointed Jorge Martin.
01:01:30That's a winner who almost through gritty teeth congratulated his team-mate, but...
01:01:35I tell you what, though, it's not bad when you're classing it as having a tough weekend.
01:01:39Two second places.
01:01:41Coming back from, like you said, six crashes over a four-day period.
01:01:46And the last one, I believe, was huge, where he ended up in hospital.
01:01:50That's been a solid weekend.
01:01:52He's not dropped too many points there to Bez.
01:01:55It's a long season, and he knows how to win a championship.
01:01:58I was just going to say, he's still my favourite for this title right now.
01:02:03Martin's my favourite.
01:02:04The fact is, he can do it always.
01:02:06Bez did, though.
01:02:07Today, he couldn't just lead from the front.
01:02:09He was challenged by Paniaia.
01:02:11Marco Bezzecchi is an Italian Grand Prix winner.
01:02:13His full victory of the season.
01:02:16Marco, on Thursday, you said it would be a dream to come here, a circuit you attended
01:02:20as a child, and for the first time to become an Italian Grand Prix winner.
01:02:25You have just done it.
01:02:27Put into words the emotions you're feeling.
01:02:30I feel unbelievable.
01:02:33It's something that I was dreaming since when I was a kid, and to achieve this dream is amazing.
01:02:40I want to say, can I speak Italian?
01:02:43Of course.
01:02:45Mugello, grazie.
01:02:46Grazie col cuore.
01:02:49Oggi gli abbiamo dato, eh.
01:02:50Ci siamo divertiti.
01:02:52Grazie a tutti, ragazzi.
01:02:53Siete fantastici.
01:02:55Un bacio.
01:03:03Thank you from my heart.
01:03:06You have been amazing.
01:03:08Marco Bezzecchi to the Italian crowd.
01:03:11I gave everything today, he said.
01:03:12And he did.
01:03:14Marco Bezzecchi has won his home Grand Prix here at Mugello.
01:03:18What an Italian Grand Prix for him.
01:03:20What a weekend for Aprilia.
01:03:23Bez crosses the line as the winner.
01:03:25We'll be back with all the reaction and the podium when we come back.
01:03:39British summertime, a slow time for news, not this year.
01:03:43I'm ready for the revolution.
01:03:44Political turmoil.
01:03:45If you're trying to get his bound copy of the Epstein file sign.
01:03:48Global meltdown.
01:03:49Classic roast chicken with an American twist.
01:03:51The chicken's got to go.
01:03:52And the maddest World Cup ever.

01:06:50Hello, welcome back to the Italian Grand Prix.
01:06:53Such emotional scenes here.
01:06:55It's gone feral, and we love it.
01:06:57It's back to the old days.
01:06:59There's been an invasion, obviously.
01:07:01Aprilia, this year, and they confirm it again.
01:07:04They came here in Mugello.
01:07:06It's Ducati's back garden.
01:07:08They've dominated here for so many years.
01:07:09They were top four last year in the Grand Prix.
01:07:12Miles in front of everybody else.
01:07:15And Aprilia, they're just confirming here.
01:07:17They've got the turning.
01:07:18They've got the speed in the straight.
01:07:20They've come out of here with a new outright lap record, new top speed record.
01:07:24I mean, it doesn't get any better than that, does it?
01:07:26Well, it doesn't when you're one and two in the championship, and you're one and two here, like you say,
01:07:30in Ducati's backyard, when they're celebrating 100 years of racing.
01:07:33Massimo Rivoli said to us before, but it's tight.
01:07:36We can't take our eyes off.
01:07:38Their attitude, it's incredible.
01:07:40And they haven't missed a beat, have they?
01:07:43No, but they have shown slight weaknesses in Le Mans in Catalonia.
01:07:47Not for all riders, but for Maseki, having a tough couple of routes.
01:07:51He bounced back and showed his class this weekend.
01:07:53But we arrived in Hungary, a difficult track on paper, although Aprilia did perform well there last season.
01:07:59It could switch yet.
01:08:00There's a long way to go to Valencia, but at the moment, you've got to say, Aprilia are in the
01:08:04driving seat.
01:08:05They have got four good riders, a quality machine under all of them, two good teams in trackers at the
01:08:10factory squad, and led by Massimo Rivoli.
01:08:13What a time it is to be a Noali fan.
01:08:15Aprilia have been through a rough patch to get to the crest of the way of the right right now.
01:08:19Look at these shots here behind the podium.
01:08:21The Italian Marco Bazzacchi leading the World Championship on an Aprilia, on the Italian bike.
01:08:27They cannot believe it.
01:08:29All their hard work coming to fruition.
01:08:31Yes, Nod, you've done brilliantly this weekend, Aprilia.
01:08:35You are owning this championship here in Mugello.
01:08:38And this podium is going to be fantastic.
01:08:40This place is about to go off, Gav.
01:08:44Absolutely, the sea of people underneath that podium is a sight to behold from up there.
01:08:50And they are about to sample one of the best atmospheres in MotoGP as podium finishes.
01:08:59Just look at it.
01:09:00Stunning seed, reminiscent of the Valentino Rossi days, reminiscent of when Danilo Petrucci, Andrea De Vizioso stood on the top
01:09:08step of the podium here.
01:09:12But this time it's going to be for Marco Bazzacchi.
01:09:16Massimo Rivola is going to take the team's award.
01:09:20He points to the squad underneath the podium.
01:09:25He has transformed their fortunes since his arrival from the Formula One paddock.
01:09:35Pega Van Jaya steps up to the podium.
01:09:39Back-to-back podiums, but the first time he stood on one in a Grand Prix since Japan last year,
01:09:46when he ran away with the victory on Marc Marquez's crowning as a 2025 world champion.
01:09:54Boy, Martin steps up into second.
01:09:58Listen to the crowd.
01:09:59Guess who's coming on the top step next?
01:10:18The commentator said it himself, calls himself simply the best, and this will be the best day of his life.
01:10:29To look down, and the adoring fans underneath, he cannot believe it.
01:10:37His best result was a fifth place in MotoGP up to now at home.
01:10:44He can't believe it.
01:10:46Head in his hands.
01:10:48There'll be a few tears down there.
01:10:50They'll quickly be washed away by the champagne.
01:10:58Massimo Rivola, one of Aprilia's greatest days in MotoGP, a one and two in the Italian Grand Prix.
01:11:06In the year of the Catties Centinoi celebrations, a shot in the arm for the Noale factory.
01:11:14He asked Piaggio Group to support him, to give him the tools.
01:11:19Well, this is repaying their faith in him and in Aprilia.
01:11:25Pekka Banyaya holds aloft.
01:11:28It will be a proud trophy for him in third.
01:11:30He led for the first half of the race, but he just could not hold on.
01:11:34Just fought back against Ayagora to take that podium in third across the line.
01:11:41Three hundredths of a second ahead of the Japanese rider.
01:11:48Jorge Martín holds aloft his trophy for second place, but having set a new all-time lap record on Saturday.
01:11:57Couldn't do it in the sprint, but Marco Vizeki, in the long race, his sixth podium of the year.
01:12:04His fourth victory of the season, but none will be sweeter than this.
01:12:09He leads the MotoGP World Championship and he takes the plaudits as the Italian Grand Prix winner.
01:12:16He wrests the trophy from the MIM president.
01:12:20And he can savour the atmosphere of a rocking Mugello.
01:12:26And this will be some rendition of Brothers of Italy.
01:12:39And this will be some rendition of Brothers of Italy.
01:13:31The Italian Grand Prix, it does not disappoint, does it?
01:13:35Just so incredible from all of the riders today.
01:13:39But Moto3, Moto2 and that MotoGP race was just fantastic.
01:13:45Just soak these in this atmosphere on this podium.
01:13:53Can relax a little bit now.
01:13:55That must have been such a tense time for all of them.
01:13:58The pressure that they were under Peko to come back to bring something back for Ducati
01:14:05when they've been struggling all weekend and himself, because he has just been flailing since Japan last year.
01:14:10For Bezzecki, with his team-mate closing in the championship and having two bad rounds and knowing that he's never
01:14:17won a round here.
01:14:18And for Jorge Martin to put it all out there after those six crashes.
01:14:21There's so many stories, aren't there?
01:14:23And they've just performed so brilliantly, Michael.
01:14:26Not to mention Pedro Acosta on the underperforming KTM.
01:14:30Mar Marquez with one and a half arms still, not fully up to speed.
01:14:33A lot of stories going on, but a lot of heroics on track today.
01:14:36I thought it was going to be a tight race at the front, maybe more so if Digi hadn't got
01:14:39a start to buy a girl, hadn't been away.
01:14:41But they made some great comebacks as well.
01:14:43And it is, once again, it's Aprilia's time at the moment.
01:14:46They can make things work around Ducati's racetrack.
01:14:49And it is both the Aprilia and Ducati's backyard.
01:14:52They've done so much work here over the years.
01:14:54But this weekend, Aprilia have taken command.
01:14:57They show that they have got the best bike on the grid.
01:14:59We keep asking that question, and I think that proves it here this weekend.
01:15:02Yeah, we thought that Digi may have been able to take it to the Aprilia's, but that poor start just
01:15:07wrecked his race, didn't it?
01:15:08Yeah, he didn't get a start.
01:15:09You know, you have to put it together, and that's what Pecco Bagnaglia did on his Ducati.
01:15:13He got everything together from the very start.
01:15:15He was super aggressive initially, made the pass.
01:15:18I mean, he was the surprise, really, Pecco Bagnaglia.
01:15:21We know he's won a few times over the last few years, but he really, really made it count.
01:15:25I've got to say, though, for these Italian riders sitting on the podium, well, standing on the podium of your
01:15:31own Grand Prix, there is nothing, nothing like it.
01:15:35They'll be sitting up there, you know, feeling emotional, feeling like they've given it all, and made it extra special.
01:15:42So, yeah, for the support of their compratiots, they made it happen today, and it was a brave effort by
01:15:47them.
01:15:47And there are home Grand Prix, and there's Mugello.
01:15:51It always is a bit special here, isn't it?
01:15:53You've got to say, the atmosphere, you can see the fact that they allow the track invasion to bring that
01:15:57atmosphere,
01:15:58to allow the fans to get close to their heroes up on that top step.
01:16:02It is, yeah, something a bit special.
01:16:04We've witnessed it with Valentino, more recently with Pecco, with Dobby, with Petrucci,
01:16:08but, yeah, for Bezzecki to experience that today, that opens a new chapter for him.
01:16:15Yeah, it really was.
01:16:18Pedro Acosta, as well, today, giving us some phenomenal entertainment.
01:16:22I mean, also him and Mark creating this vibe between them.
01:16:25They're going to be in the same garage next year.
01:16:27That's something to look forward to, isn't it?
01:16:28Oh, no, you're not going anywhere. Come here.
01:16:34Now, look, Paolo, we did... I'm going to have to go this side, otherwise...
01:16:39Yeah, because I can't hear you. I know.
01:16:41What did we say before? That it was your time today.
01:16:46You told us.
01:16:48Yes.
01:16:49You were right another time.
01:16:51I don't know how can you know this, but with the medium tyre on the rear,
01:17:00Marko Bezzecki was much more confident with the bike.
01:17:06Immediately, immediately when he tested, also on Friday, he said,
01:17:10hmm, I don't know which tyre I have to use during the sprint.
01:17:15For sure, I use on the race.
01:17:17To be honest, the bike works a little bit better because of more stability,
01:17:22but I have to say that most of the job was done by our riders
01:17:28because with this hot temperature and with difficult track layout
01:17:33because it's necessary to apply a lot of energy, a lot of force for a long time,
01:17:38they did a great, great job.
01:17:49But it means that the bikes work well and we have four good riders.
01:17:56You know, you've talked about the tyre there and everything else,
01:17:59but how does this feel?
01:18:01Because look what you've done as a team here in Mugello.
01:18:08I think the people this year is the maximum number of all the history here in Mugello
01:18:19and it means that the passion in Italy is coming back.
01:18:27Marco Bezzecchi is part of this job, for sure.
01:18:31We love him.
01:18:34We love his passion.
01:18:36He thought after Barcelona that he has to recover something.
01:18:43He wants to show that he is still Marco Bezzecchi,
01:18:48as you have seen in the first part of the season,
01:18:51and he did a great job.
01:18:53Amazing.
01:18:53And Orgel Martin as well put in his bag a lot of points.
01:18:59So it means it will be another weekend for us as a management,
01:19:08another time to manage this strong talent together.
01:19:15I'm joking, but I love this job.
01:19:19I love the passion show by Orgel last time in Barcelona,
01:19:24despite of the bad show that it was on TV.
01:19:30I love his passion.
01:19:33You're talking about when he came in the garage and he was angry and he pushed you.
01:19:39Totally understood, totally, totally understood him.
01:19:42And after five minutes, we were friends again like before, exactly like before.
01:19:50So I think we are a family and I think a part of the job is made by the rider
01:19:56because they love to stay with us.
01:19:59Paolo, how about you?
01:20:01How do you feel?
01:20:02I mean, you've been obviously an engineer for Aprilia for over 15 years now.
01:20:06And I mean, this is happening.
01:20:07This is real.
01:20:08You've been, you're now dominating MotoGP, the pinnacle of the sport.
01:20:13And we are here in Mugello and you've got two factory bikes on the podium
01:20:17and the top step with an Italian rider.
01:20:19How do you feel?
01:20:19Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:20:21Yeah, Sylvain, you are right.
01:20:22I was an electronic engineer for 20 years.
01:20:28I was with you.
01:20:29It was a lovely moment together.
01:20:33And all of the jobs that we have done during this year,
01:20:42yeah, this is something very, very strong for me
01:20:45because we didn't expect, to be honest, to start the season in such a good way.
01:20:51We have seen in the last part of the previous season
01:20:55that something was in the correct direction.
01:21:00We start in a good way as we finish.
01:21:04It is not an easier way this year.
01:21:07It is even harder to keep this level,
01:21:14but it is a part of our job, of my job,
01:21:17to keep the level of the team and to keep the level of the rider as now.
01:21:21Paolo, any concerns after, obviously, a little bit of a dip in form
01:21:25from Vizzecki in the last two rounds, a long way to go to Valencia
01:21:28or do you guys fully understand why he had that little dip in form?
01:21:35Yeah, I think that most most of the of the sensation that the rider give to you.
