MOTOGP FIM MOTOGP WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP ROUND 6 / JUNE 2-4, 2017 MUGELLO CIRCUIT / TUSCANY, ITALY P98 4. Valentino Rossi (Yam) 5. Alvaro Bautista (Duc) Moto2 1. Mattia Pasini (Kal) 2. Thomas Luthi (Kal) 3. Alex Marquez (Kal) 4. Franco Morbidelli (Kal) 5. Miguel Oliveria (KTM) Moto3 1. Andrea Migno (KTM) 2. Fabio Di Giannantonio (Hon) 3. Juanfran Guevara (KTM) 4. Darryn Binder (KTM) 5. Aron Canet (Hon) two-tenths. Then came Canet, pole starter John McPhee (British Talent Honda), three-race win- ner Joan Mir (Leopard Honda), and rank rookie Ayumu Sasaki (SIC Honda). Binder's teammate Ramirez, another leader on the day, and Bulega completed the top 10. What a race. Mir retained his handsome lead, with 108 points. Then there's Canet (74), Di Giannanto- nio (71), Fenati (13th today) and Migno (both with 68). CN MotoGP 1. Andrea Dovizioso (Duc) 2. Maverick Vinales (Yam) 3. Danilo Petrucci (Duc) which he did five times. Consider how hard it was to get the tactics right by studying just one change of position— Nicolo Bulega (SKY VR46 KTM) went from eighth on lap 13 to lead lap 14, then to 16th on lap 15—having got a little nudge in the process. It's enough to say that it was a hell of a race, and the first one this year not won by a Honda, and the first of the day to be won by an Italian, as were the next two. Migno was marginally ahead of Di Giannantonio; Juanfran Guevara (RGA KTM) third, and Darryn Binder (Platinum Bay KTM) denied a first podium by Pick a bike, any bike! Moto3 was a race for the ages, with Andrea Migno (16) coming out on top.
