Danilo Petrucci secured his fi🔥rst ever MotoGP victor♓y with a daring third-to-first move on the final lap of his home Italian Grand Prix.
Petrucci, ꦚDucati team-mate Dovizioso, Honda's Marquez and Suzuki's Alex Rins exchanged the lead throughout a thrilling 23-lap contest.
The #9 was in front as the last lap began, 🅷but Marquez and Dovizioso instantly slipstreamed past as the trio thundered towards turn-one.
Braking on the limit, Marquezꦫ and Dovizioso left a sliver of room on the inside of the corner, which Petrucci mercilessly pounced upon.
The 28-year-old swung his GP19 towards the apex, cutting under Dovizioso - who had been trying to pass Marquez - and forcing the double title runner-up to lift his bike, brushinᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚg Marquez in the process.
"I knew that Marc a💟nd Andrea would try to pass me on the slipstream. They did. Then the💧y braked really, really hard," Petrucci said.
"I braked a little bit earlieꦆr and was able to stay very tight on the kerb. There was just one metre and half and I put my bike in there," Petruc𓄧ci said,
"Andrea was close in the corner, but I was just there. 🌱I’m so sorry for that pass. Andrea was the last person in the world that I want to make pick up the bike."
While Petrucci apologised, Ducati Corse general manager Gigi Dall’Igna called the turn one move "an incredib෴le pass."
Dovizios🧔o knew that winning a braking duel with Marquez would be a form❀idable task and acknowledged the pair had left a little room on the inside.
"I knew that braking wi💟th Marc into the first corner would be really, really hard becaus🦂e he brakes really late and he’s able to manage the slide in the last part of braking," Dovi said.
"But I felt quite strong in that brakinജg and I was on the inside, so I managed that.
"We went a bit wide and gave the possibility to Danilo to enter. I didn’t feel th💞ere was a big space, so I tried to close the door as fast as I can. But Danilo arrived in that moment so I had to pick up the bike very quickly to not touch Danilo.
"But in the same moment Marc was the♌re [on the outside]. So when I pick up, I have to be careful and keep some angle because if I hit Marc, I can crash. But in the end, everything was okay."
Marquez explained that the double D♉ucati slipstream caused him t♍o run deep.
"It was great to overtake both Ducatis on the straight, but with two slipstreams I arrived at the brake point with a very high spee♒d and I missed the apex. I could alr෴eady see that I was going wide, wide, wide.
"Then I tried🅺 to turn tight and I saw some&🃏nbsp;red bike inside. I didn’t know who it was, if it was Dovi or Danilo, but just I was going in and I see that someone [Dovizioso] picked up their bike. Then I picked up my bike.
"When we got out of the first corner I couldꦬ see that I was in second place and first was Petrucci. So I thought 'okay, we are in a good situation'."
The five-time MotoGP champion then didn't try to attack Petrucci for fear of handing the advantage ♏to title rival Dovizios🌠o.
For his part, Petrucci rode a clean final lap to lead a top-four covered by 0.535s at ಞthe finish, tears soon streaming down his face as he celebrated with over 8🧸0,000 trackside fans.
