The last Sunday of November made Italians dream with the victories of Sinner and Bagnaia. The two athletes have written a beautiful page of healthy and triumphant sport.
Sinner and the Davis Cup victory
The Italians had to wait 47 years for the Davis Cup to return to Italy. If Panatta and Pietrangeli were two great tennis legends, Jannik Sinner is no different. The 22-year-old started a little slowly, but then dominated the field in a win against world number 12, Australian Alex De Minaur.

Bagnaia and the victory at the MotoGP
Another important page of Italian sport was written by Pecco Bagnaia who won the MotoGP. Two world championships won with great calm, always dominating the track with head held high. A very respectable champion who shines in the Olympus of champions, including Valentino Rossi and Marc Marquez, the only ones to win two consecutive titles in MotoGP before him, and even ranks above Casey Stoner, as he is the first to have won two titles with Ducati.
