# 2016 Italian motorcycle Grand Prix

The 2016 Italian motorcycle Grand Prix was the sixth round of the 2016 Grand Prix motorcycle racing season. It was held at the Mugello Circuit in Scarperia on 22 May 2016. The MotoGP race was settled by a mere 0.019 seconds as Jorge Lorenzo pulled out of Marc Márquez' slipstream on the final straight on the final lap after a dramatic duel between the two, whilst polesitter Valentino Rossi lost a chance at challenging for a home win due to an engine failure. This race marks Rossi's first bike failure since the 2007 San Marino Grand Prix.
This race was the last race for Luis Salom before he was fatally injured after an accident during practice session at the following Grand Prix in Barcelona.
In the Moto3 class, Fabio Di Giannantonio took his first podium in what was just his 7th start.
