2024 San Marino MotoGP at Misano as it happened

Bastianini has brought his deficit to Bagnaia down to under a second for the first time. 

lap 17/27

Bastianini has closed just a little bit more on Bagnaia ahead of him. Bastianini has the soft rear tyre on, so we'll find out soon how good a job he has done in preserving that option. 

Outside of the top 10, Oliveira in 11th from Zarco, Nakagami, Bradl and Martin. 

lap 16/27

No change at the front in terms of gap. Bastianini finds a couple of tenths on Bagnaia. 

Bastianini hasn't made much progress into Bagnaia in third. He's 1.2s adrift. Behind, Alex Marquez is fourth from Miller, Binder, Bezzecchi, Quartararo, Di Giannantonio and Pol Espargaro. 

Lap 15/27

Marquez's lead ihas shrunk to 0.5s at the start of lap 15. Bagnaia hasn't given this one up yet, though at what point does he think about the championship with Martin down in 15th?

Lap 14/27

Big lap for Marquez as his gap has grown to 0.8s over Bagnaia. Are we on for back-to-back wins for the Spaniard?

Martin is a lapped 15th. Unless anyone crashes out, a point is likely all that is on offer to him today. What a disaster. 

Lap 13/27

Marquez is about 0.3s ahead of Bagnaia at the start of lap 13. Bastianini is 1.1s behind his Ducati team-mate in third. 

Bagnaia did not yesterday that he struggled a lot in the wake of Martin's bike. That could become a factor here now.

Bastianini's pace is as good as the leading two and he's only 1.5s behind them. This race is not over by a long shot!

Alex Rins has come in for a second bike swap and is last. 

Bastianini takes third from Miller at Turn 8.

Lap 12/27

Bastianini is putting Miller under big pressure for third.

Bagnaia is incredible through the third sector and is able to get right onto Marquez's tail into Turn 14. But still there's no way through.

The top two are dropping Miller here. 

Lap 11/27

Marquez is fending off Bagnaia onto lap 11 with Miller in tow in third. And they have just lapped Jorge Martin!

All riders who switched bikes have come back in. 

Martin is back into the pits!

Lap 10/27

Marquez still leads Bagnaia but the factory Ducati rider looks very strong here. Miller is now third. 

The rain looks to have stopped, so Martin's gamble looks to have backfired big time! Disaster for the championship leader. 

Lap 9/27

Marquez leads Bagnaia and Miller. Martin is 15th after his stop ahead of R.Fernandez, both factory Aprilias, Acosta and Rins who also pitted.

Marquez takes second from Binder at Turn 14 and takes the lead at Turn 15 from Bagnaia!

Lap 8/27

Martin is the only one of the leaders who has pitted. Bagnaia leads from Binder and Marc Marquez. Lead group is covered by nothing and Quartararo is not far behind it either!

Martin pits!

Incident

Morbidelli has crashed at Turn 1 as the rain is really heavy now. 

lap 7/27

Looks like the rain is coming down a bit heavier now as we start seven.
