Ducati rider Andrea Dovizioso had to beat Yamaha's Maverick Vinales and an unfortunate case of food poisoning to win his first ever MotoGP race this season on his home turf - Mugello. The 2017 MotoGP Italian Grand Prix seemed another win for team Yamaha after Vinales and Valentino Rossi were leading the grid after qualifying. However, Dovizioso showed some incredible pace, leaving both the Yamaha riders behind. Andrea's win also marks Ducati's first win at the Mugello circuit since the Casey Stoner scored one in 2009.
With Vinales and Rossi were aching for a win, Dovizioso didn't seem to be in contention early in the day, given the upset stomach. The Italian didn't post a flying lap in the morning warm up but managed to compete strongly against the Yamahas in the 23-lap race. The race started with Rossi, taking the lead from Vinales, but 'The Doctor' could not maintain the lead for long as Lorenzo, starting seventh showed some incredible pace early on and took the lead on Lap 2. But the Spaniard could barely manage to hold on to the top spot, and Vinales passed him again to take the lead.
