1. The Alex Márquez/Brad Binder incident in the first corner of the race.
Alex, who started on the front row and the race did not go beyond the first corner due to a touch with Binder, was unlucky, which brought him to the ground. The South African was penalized for a long lap.
2. The Binder penalty and the Miller impunity.
As we say in key #1, Binder was penalized for the ‘irresponsible riding’ that brought down Alex Márquez; however, when Jack Miller slipped through the Scarperia corner and Marc had to raise the bike to avoid a crash, Race Direction didn’t speak. Again the elusive criteria for punishment.
3. The Ducati/Mugello relationship.
Beating Ducati at Mugello seems like an impossible mission. On the one hand, because it is the Ducati test circuit, whose test team does thousands of laps there; Second, because the incredible Ducati engine imposes its law on the long finish line. It is no coincidence that the first five bikes at the finish line are from the manufacturer from Bologna.
4. Miller caught up with Marc.
After a good start, Márquez stayed in the lead group amidst a sea of Ducatis, which helped him ‘survive’ on the straight. Situation changed when, on the third lap, Jack Miller passed Marc Márquez. When he returned to the line he lost five positions and found himself on the tail of the Ducati train.
5. The rain in the middle of the race.
In the middle of the sprint race it started to spark first and then really rain in sectors #2 and #3. Bagnaia, who was leading, eased up and was passed by Jorge Martín. But after initial doubts, everyone went back to ‘all or nothing’ mode regardless of the rain. Sprint racing is poison!
