The 26-year-old Italian was delighted with his victory: “After yesterday the only possible way to have a good conclusion was to win in my home Grand Prix.

"At the start when I saw the KTM in front I said to myself that I had to overtake him as soon as possible, we did it and everything went perfectly.

"I was trying to be calm and not get nervous...I’m happy for sure, it’s the best weekend so far.”
