Dovizioso wins for Ducati at Mugello

Andrea Dovizioso defied food poisoning to claim his first ever dry MotoGP win in front his home fans at Mugello on Sunday.

In the process, the Italian handed home manufacturer Ducati its first win at the circuit since Casey Stoner in 2009.

Dovi didn't even post a flying lap in morning warm-up due to his sickness, but was a constant contender in the 23-lap race, taking the lead from Yamaha's Maverick Vinales on lap 14 and edging away to a 1.281s victory margin.

Vinales in turn was able to pull late breathing room over an impressive Danilo Petrucci, the Pramac rider having caught and passed countryman and Mugello legend Valentino Rossi to take the final podium place.

Rossi, riding with chest and stomach injuries from last week's motocross accident, was in the lead group throughout the race, but suffered in the closing stages to finish 1.3s from Petrucci's Ducati.
