Bagnaia won the race and came close to securing the championship, but with Fabio Quartararo (Yamaha) finishing in third today, Bagnaia was denied the title by two points. If Quartararo wins the final race at Valencia in two weeks, Bagnaia need only finish in 14th position, or better, to secure the title.
Finishing second today was Enea Bastianini (Ducati) who raced Bagnaia hard, and actually passed him with a few laps remaining. Bagnaia ultimately took the lead for good and Bastianini had to settle for second place.
Quartararo is the only rider with a mathematical possibility of beating Bagnaia in the final round. For full results of today’s race, take a look here. You can find additional details on the MotoGP site.
