IIIMY OWN RACE: 21 FRANCO MORBIDELLI 1ST MOTOGP "I feel like this has been a magical week for me," Morbidelli said. "Every- thing had been going well, so going into today I was thinking that maybe something good would be possible. Turns out, it was something great! I have never won a world champion- ship race at home before, so to do it in MotoGP is the greatest achieve- ment in my life. Seven years ago, I was racing here with a stock 600, now I'm winning a MotoGP race. It's just amazing." 63 FRANCESCO BAGNAIA 2ND MOTOGP "When I arrived at Misano my goal was to finish the race," Bagnaia says, s ll with a broken leg a er his Czech Republic crash. "Saturday during FP3 when I started thinking only about driving and not about the leg I saw that I could push and I felt the same sensa ons as Jerez. I didn't have a great start and I lost some posi ons so I had to close the gap from Mir. Once I passed Mir I saw that I had some to go and take the leading group. I didn't think of anything anymore, just to make my first podium in MotoGP in the home GP in front of the fans."
