Bagnaia’s main competitor for this year’s championship, Jorge Martin (Ducati) got an incredible hole-shot from 6th on the grid and led most of the race before crashing out of a commanding lead. Martin had taken the championship lead over Bagnaia yesterday by winning the Sprint.
Coming home in second and third today were Maverick Vinales (Aprilia) and Fabio Quartararo (Yamaha) who each crossed the finish line less than half a second from Bagnaia.
Bagnaia is back on top of the championship points battle with an 18 point cushion over second place Martin. There are five rounds remaining, and the Phillip Island, Australia race is next weekend. For full results and points for today’s race, visit the MotoGP site here.
