No change at the front as Martin continues to hold the lead.
Bagnaia has now been given a track limits warning. Only three of the top 10 haven't gotten warnings yet.

Di Giannantonio has pitted to retire on lap eight. Miserable sprint for the VR46 squad in front of the boss, Valentino Rossi, at Misano.

14:10
lap 6/13
Half distance in this race and Martin continues to lead Bagnaia, with that pair detaching Morbidelli in third.
That gap is a second behind the top two.
14:10

A move he needed to do as Bastianini has cleared off in fourth.
14:09
