MotoGP: 5 Talking Points from the Italian Grand Prix

#2 Petrucci might have just confirmed his seat for next year

Petrucci powered to the first win of his career

Petrucci put the demons to rest in the previous race where he was able to break the shackles and snatch a podium for Ducati. When the circus rolled on to Mugello, Danillo was the rider who was arguably the most aggressive rider in the race (even to his teammate at times) and showed great pace throughout.

No-one would fault Ducati if they sign him up now and extend his deal as he has proven to be the better rider as compared to Jack Miller. Miller on his part might have the better pace as compared to Danillo but when scoreline reads 82-42 it's not a contest. It would be interesting to see if Ducati wait a bit further and provide Miller a chance to fight back or jump the gun early with their decision. Even if they do it would be hard to fault them.
