The Gran Premio TISSOT dell’Emilia Romagna e della Riviera di Rimini was full of unrelenting drama and emerging from the seventh race of the 2020 season, we saw a sixth different rider stand on the top step of the podium. Maverick Viñales’ (Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP) eighth premier class win sees the Spaniard join Fabio Quartararo (Petronas Yamaha SRT), Brad Binder (Red Bull KTM Factory Racing), Andrea Dovizioso (Ducati Team), Miguel Oliveira (Red Bull KTM Tech3) and Franco Morbidelli (Petronas Yamaha SRT) as 2020 winners. And with that win, Viñales is now just one point behind Championship leader Dovizioso. With Dovi finishing P8 and Viñales, Mir and Quartararo all in the top four, the gap between the leading quartet is now just four points heading to Barcelona. The latter’s P2 at the Emilia Romagna GP is the Spaniard’s third rostrum in four races – his other finish since the opening Red Bull Race was a P4.
