Enea Bastianini snatched the honour of Ducati’s 100th grand prix win with a controversial last-lap pass on Jorge Martin at the Emilia Romagna MotoGP.
Both riders ran off track after the move, but remained upright.
The FIM Stewards appear not to be taking any action, with Bastianini standing on the top step of the podium.
Either way, Martin has broken 24-points clear of Francesco Bagnaia in the world championship standings after the Italian sensationally crashed out.
Bagnaia suffered his seventh DNF of the season when he lost the front under braking while trying to get back in touch with Martin and Bastianini, with 7 laps to go.
Martin still had his hands full with Bastianini, who had been glued to the Pramac Ducati rider since the pair passed an off-pace Bagnaia in the early stages.
Bastianini then lunged inside Martin at the Turn 14 hairpin on the final lap...
Meanwhile, Ducati clinched the 2024 constructors’ crown.
San Marino winner Marc Marquez, who had predicted a repeat of Saturday’s fourth place, was promoted to third by Bagnaia’s error.
The Gresini rider also benefitted from Brad Binder and Pedro Acosta crashing out ahead of him.
As expected, most riders switched from the soft rear tyre in the Sprint to a medium rear for the 27-lap main race.
However, Marco Bezzecchi, eighth yesterday, rolled the dice on the soft rear.
The Emilia Romagna GP was the second of two consecutive Misano rounds, having been added to the calendar in place of the cancelled India/Kazakhstan events.
Repsol Honda’s Joan Mir missed the entire San Marino GP due to “intense gastroenteritis” with team-mate Joan Mir withdrawing from the Sunday race due to sickness.
Both Honda riders returned this weekend, but Monster Yamaha's Alex Rins withdrew from the event on Saturday morning due to sickness.
Revised tyre pressure rules for 2024 mean riders must stay above a lower front minimum of 1.8 bar (instead of 1.88) for 60% (instead of 50%) of a Grand Prix distance, or 30% of a Sprint.
The punishment for failing to meet the minimum in a Grand Prix is a 16-second post-race time penalty, or an 8-second penalty for a Sprint/short race.
MotoGP now heads straight to Mandalika for next weekend's Indonesian Grand Prix.
