2 points short Pecco Banaia Sentenced to MotoGP at the Malaysian Grand Prix in Sepang, he waits to win the title in a second matchball two weeks later at the Cheste circuit where the championship ends, as happened with the Moto2 crown four years ago. I have to. Bagnaia add seventh win of the year before the bully Enea Bastianini and thanks His third draw, his first podium since Austria six races ago and a broken left ring finger, Fabio Quartararo Take advantage of your options. It’s not easy. You have to win and wait for your rival’s big mistake (not adding 2 points). Bagnaia’s mentor Valentino Rossi arrived in 2006 with an eight-point advantage over Hayden and lost it. Ducati Lenovo Team chose Team CrownCurrently only the jackpot is missing.

The starting grid was home to two front-row highlights including Jorge Martin, Enea Bastianini and Marc Marquez, hungry for victory. The third row and his fourth row were the so-called “Big 3” of the championship. His ninth and his tenth in Bagnaia and Aleix Espargaró, and his fourth row after Bagnaia, the twelfth Quartararo. Despite the fact that no one completed race simulations all weekend, there was unanimity in tire selection, medium front and soft rear, and water predictions that did not occur at any time.

Spectacular departure from Bagnaia and Quartararo

If Brad Binder’s spectacular start from the fifth row was expected, it was Pecco Bagnaia who made the difference. Pecco Bagnaia quickly moved to the right of the grid thanks to everyone opening to the left and his Ducati accelerated to take him second. Martin in the first corner, ahead of his two other men in the front row, Bastianini and Marc Márquez. Quartararo has moved him up to fifth and Aleix he Espargaro remains in the top ten.

Martín, in a stroke of a track record, has already added a tenth eight seconds on lap two, pulling away from Bagnaia and Bastianini, while Marc Márquez has already started to drop, chasing seven on lap three. Coming in 5, he had already done his part, but Fabio Quartararo did his part as well, disrupting the matchball. Alex Espargaro, who had already lost the battle outright, was over eight inches from his head in 15th, giving him an option perhaps all the way to the final podium of the championship, so he has to fight Bastianini. it won’t work.

Martin falls to the ground with a 1″2 lead

Quartararo overtook Marc Márquez on lap five and took the third box by two inches and four seconds. The title was effectively hinged on overtaking from Bagnaia to Jorge Martin, but the Madrid man already had a 1″ 2 lead. Outdated as Lorenzo didn’t pay attention to the backing and changed to a ‘mapping 8’ to give him a place in his dash. It would be too impudent to send a happy message to the board.Dovizioso but I didn’t need it because it’s the 7th lap Jorge Martin has fallen Bagnaia found himself leading the race, Quartararo took the podium, and again the “match ball” was intercepted by the Frenchman.

Not wanting to get into trouble at first was Bastianini, who would become Ducati’s official teammate for the next two seasons. he wonders what to do Behind Bezecchi, who freed Marquez, Mir, Rins and Brad Binder, his friend Bagnaia came to the rescue, but it all depended on him overtaking Quartararo. And with 10 to go, he’s already cut the distance to less than 1.

Bastianini passes Pecco and Bagnaia’s name appears on the board

But Bastianini waited no longer. He realized Bagnaia was lapping too late and passed him on lap eleven. The move created a lot of tension in the pit lane for Ciabatti and Tardozzi and the red box for Dal. Igna. Four laps later, after the Red Cardinals’ conclave, things calmed down when Bagnaia regained the race lead after the single questionable sign “Bagnaia” appeared on the Gresini team’s scoreboard.

Pecco title held by Bezecchi

However, Bezecchi, who was four tenths behind Quartararo, fell back with six seconds remaining and was able to reach the finish line in fourth place.

On the final lap, Bastianini once again struck fear into the bodies of Bagnaia and Cardinal’s Conclave by getting dangerously close to the leader again and almost showing him the wheels. Pecco took his seventh victory ahead of Bastianini and Quartararo.

Alex Rins He finished fifth, he wasn’t lying Marc Marquez Convinced he had no podium or top five lead, he was passed by Miller for seventh on the final lap. Aleix Espargaro bid farewell to the title with his 11th victory, 21.591 ahead of the winner. but in the end they came back in 10th place He was sanctioned third after illegally passing Morbidelli in the closing stages of the race. With this, Aleix retains his third position behind him by one point over Enea.

As for the rest of the Spaniards, Pol Espargaro is 14th, Raul Fernandez 15th, Maverick Vinales 16th, Alex Marquez 17th and João Mir 19th, three from last after their last crash. was ranked. In the seventh, Jorge Martin fell while leading the race.
