Spain's Jorge Lorenzo led a Ducati one-two in the Italianteam's home grand prix at the Mugello circuit on Sunday while MotoGP leader Marc Marquez crashed and failed to score.
The win ended a long drought for the three-times MotoGP champion, who has struggled since joining the factory team at the start of 2017 and whose last victory was for Yamaha in Valencia at the end of 2016.
"This is the best victory of my life, but on the other hand, I am sad."
