Oliveira wins in the water, third-placed Bagnaia is already harassing leader Quartararo

With the MotoGP World Championship arriving in Thailand after the rainy season, we believe it’s time to get on the water from day one. However, they found the water did not arrive until race day and when they did, it was a torrent. It completely affected the Moto2 race, which was canceled after 8 laps, forcing the start of the MotoGP race to be delayed, finally given a start and Pecco his Bagnaia changed his look. The 2022 Rain His King, Miguel Oliveira, nearly clinched the title in his third victory, winning ahead of Jack Miller.

In the water, the Quartararo-Yamaha duo drowned again, finishing 17th without scoring any points. The Ducatista now trails the Frenchman by two points at the table, with Aleix his Espargaro currently in 20th from his 11th. Marc Márquez was on the podium at his fingertips and overtook Bagnaia at turn 12, but he struggled to finish fifth.

The organization has missed the peerless Rara Istiati Wulandari. She carried Mandalika’s carrier with her rain protection ritual, Golden her bowl in hand, and yelled at Pit Lane Her Up and Pit Lane Her Down spells. This Sunday they crossed their fingers to delay the start of the race by 55 minutes to the first. The race was completely dynamite, with the grid consisting of dry time and many people being left behind due to wet conditions.

After a few laps around the track before the grid formed, conversations between the pilots began, with Aleix Espargaro taking the lead in taking the very low visibility conditions and explaining it to Capirossi, Director of the MotoGP Safety Committee. but we took it for granted for those who wouldn’t risk cleaning up Turn 4.

Marc Márquez jumped from 8th to 5th immediately at the start, while the four Ducatis of Bezecchi, Bagnaia, Miller and Martín held on to the lead, but Quartararo was already out in 17th after being scared off the curbs. rice field. Going wide on the first stop, Bezecchi had to give the lead to Miller, who had just overtaken Bagnaia.

KTM SAFE VALUES IN WATER

KTM in the water was a safe number and was deducted from South Africa due to an incident between Aleix Espargaro and Brad Binder – although Aleix Espargaro received a long lap penalty and lost four places from 10th to 14th , his teammate Oliveira said he had already made a profit by winning the race in the rain at Mandalica and was third with four laps after leaving Bagnaia behind. Two laps later, he was already second after Miller overtook Bezecchi by a tenth of a second. A great comeback of the day came from Alex Marquez, who went from his 20th on the grid to his 7th in his 6 laps and a few laps later Marquez was already his 4th and his 5th. Alex was the best.

Oliveira sent the first caution to Miller on lap nine, but Miller could barely maintain the initiative. Behind them, Pecco Bagnaia retained his third place and was able to effectively move closer to two points from Quartararo in the standings. But the prowling Marc Márquez was already the fastest rider on the track at the halfway point of the race.

Oliveira leads with 12 remaining

With 12 to go, Oliveira has already solidified his overtake of Miller, and Marquez is now 0.7s ahead of Bagnaia, who has dropped to 0.5s in some areas of the track where dry lanes have already formed. With six to go at the classic turn 12, Marc passed Bagnaia but regained the Italian when Zarco jumped on top of them, and one lap later the French overtook the rider from Cervera to become Ducati’s official rider. I acted as a bodyguard. For the Repsol Honda rider, this is a swan song, with a podium chance already fading and a full Top 5 finish.

Quartararo always concedes

Bagnaia was battling for 3rd while Quartararo was battling Crutchlow for 17th. I was the leader throughout the race, constantly failing to score points and having zero or even one option if I didn’t start moving on. After finishing second behind Oliveira at the Mandalica race, he finished in 34.072 seconds. The top 11 was the limit for Aleix Espargaro, who was down five points from Quartararo.

As for the rest of the Spaniards, Alex Marquez was 7th, Maverick Vinales 8th, Aleix Espargaro 11th, Alex Rins 13th, Pol Espargaro 14th and Raul Fernandez 15th.
