Nolangroup rider Enea Bastianini’s soft front tyre gamble paid off as a perfect lunge at the end of the back straight saw him move ahead and gain enough advantage to steal his first ever win in the Moto3 Grand Prix of Misano. His maiden victory brings the championship back to life as the race result sees X-lite pilot Danny Kent’s title lead slashed from 70 to 55 points, with Bastianini chasing him down.
The local rider celebrated his win by having a patriotic Italian flag sprayed into his hair.
