Having cleared the factory Ducati of Enea Bastianini on lap 18 of 23 after hounding him for much of the race, Marquez was chasing after Pramac’s Jorge Martin for second as the Mugello race neared its conclusion.
But with two laps to the finish, Bastianini was able to retaliate and retake third position on the entry to Scarperia, dropping Marquez back down to fourth.
