line, when Romano Fenati (Riva-
cold Honda) took advantage to
slip ahead as well. Enea Bastian-
ini (EG Honda) moved through in
the late stages for fourth ahead
of his teammate Aron Canet.
Marcos Ramirez (Platinum
Bay KTM) managed to hang on
to seventh, and with Fabio Di
Giannantonio (Del Conca Honda)
eighth, it was another Honda
whitewash.
It had been an entirely typical
tiddler race, with Fenati, Mir and
Canet exchanging the lead with
Martin throughout, and other
riders seesawing to and fro. By
the end a lead group of eight
grew to 11 as SKY VR46 riders
Nicolo Bulega and Mugello win-
ner Andrea Migno brought Red
Bull KTM's Niccolo Antonelli with
them.
First to 11th was spanned by
just over two seconds; Migno
eighth ahead of Bulega; Tatsuki
Suzuki (Sic 58 Honda) dropping
behind them at the end; then
Antonelli.
Joan Mir rode a
masterful last lap to
take another win and
increase his lead in
the championship to
nearly two full races.
John McPhee (British Talent
Honda) had been dropped by
less than four seconds at the
end; Philipp Oettl (Schedl KTM)
had come through; while rookie
Marco Bezzechi (CIP Mahindra)
secured 14th ahead of Bend-
sneyder and Sasaki with a daring
last-lap lunge at Turn 10, where
rival Jules Danilo crashed out.
JuanFran Guevara also
knocked Darryn Binder out of a
points-scoring position on the
final lap.
Mir's points lead stretched
again. He has 133 with his pursu-
ers bunched together almost
two race wins adrift: Fenati 88,
Canet 85, Di Giannantonio 80,
Migno and Martin 76. CN
