ROUND 6 / JUNE 2-4, 2017
MUGELLO CIRCUIT / TUSCANY, ITALY
P94
(EG-VDS Honda) with five laps to go.
Abraham (Aspar Ducati), Guintoli (Ec-
star Suzuki), Baz (Avintia Ducati), Lowes
(Aprilia Gresini Racing) and Smith (Red
Bull KTM) followed along, both Esparga-
ro brothers retired, Aprilia-mounted Aleix
after having served a ride-through penalty
for a jump start, and Pol (Red Bull KTM)
retiring with mechanical problems.
Vinales extended his points lead, 105
points to new runner-up Dovizioso's 79.
Rossi has 75, followed by Marquez and
Pedrosa at 68 apiece.
(Right) That man kissing Andrea Dovizioso
is Claudio Domenicali—the Ducati CEO.
Domenicali will be adding a few more zeros
on Dovi's contract. (Below) Dovi begins to eek
out the advantage over Petrucci (9), Vinales
and a fading Rossi.
