Moto3: Migno snatches dramatic home win
Andrea Migno took control on the last lap of the Italian Moto3 Grand Prix, to secure his first win in the class in a crazy race that saw at least 14 different leaders.
Migno's home win for the Italian Sky Racing VR46 team also gave KTM their first success of the year, ending Honda's total podium domination.
Fabio DiGiannantonio looked well placed to slipstream past his fellow countryman after the pair made a slight break over the final corners, but could not beat Migno's perfect line, leaving the Gresini rider second just 0.037s behind.
Third went to Juanfran Guevara, a feisty ride saw him hit the front with two laps to run after surviving contact in the massive lead group earlier in the race on his RBA machine. It is the Spaniards first podium finish.
Darryn Binder also had a short spell at the front before finishing fourth for Platinum Bay Real Estate as did Aron Canet on his way to fifth for Estrella Galicia.
Pole man John McPhee was also in contention for the British Talent Team, and claiming he was able to see last place after a brief look back during the race was pleased to pick up sixth.
Championship leader Joan Mir picked up valuable points in seventh to stay ahead of his rivals overall,with 108 points. Canet moves into second in the title race with 74points just ahead of podium man Di Giannantonio who leaps up to third with 71.
Rookie Ayumu Sasaki fought his way to the front before crossing the line an excellent eighth for the SIC Racing team at home, just ahead of Marcos Ramirez, who had run in the top three for much of the race before being out-run in the drag to the line for Platinum Bay Real Estate.
The top ten was completed by Nicolo Bulega, who surged back into contention for Sky Racing VR46, running as high as second before being beaten backwards on the final lap.
Enea Bastianini took eleventh on the Second Estrella Galicia entry, just keeping Bo Bendsneyder at bay on the Red Bull KTM Ajo bike in twelfth.
The scrap for the final points was just as fierce with early leader Romano Fenati (Marinelli Rivacold Snipers) unable to fight back from 13th and Philipp Oettl ( Sudmetall Schedl GP Racing) flying up to the lead before being shunted back to 14th.
Jorge Martin (Gresini) made great progress forward after his grid penalty only to finish 15th for the final point on offer.
Jules Danilo was the first to exit the huge lead pack, lasting until there was eleven laps remaining, wild-card Edoardo Sintoni retired on the following lap, the only other riders not to make it to the end of the race were Tatsuki Suzuki and Albert Arenas after contact on the final lap.
