The “sprint” race of Indonesian Grand Prix tightened even more if possible the fight for the world cup. The fall of Jorge Martin and the victory of Bagnaia ‘Pecco’ just do it twelve points separate Spanish from Italian.
It was “Pecco” himself who, after completing the test, analyzed the result, recognizing that before the fall, Martín I was going faster that he: “When I saw Martín enter this corner, I thought that if he closed it, I would I would have taken four seconds at the end of the race, because he was much faster than me. But today it was very hot, it was 63 degrees on the asphalt, the the worst conditions in history and it wasn’t easy.”
“When I saw him fall, I started thinking about being fast in the first three sectors of the track, but slow in the last, to control the situation, and it worked. I don’t want to say anything until tomorrow evening, because it looks like a championship of errors. My idea is that it comes from the performance of the tires, the rear part has been a big step forward and we can brake very hard because it helps us, but the front part has more problems”, concluded the Ducati rider in statements collected by “Motosan”.
Bagnaia also reflected on how he and Jorge are approaching this final stretch of the World Cup, aware that an error one can leave the title on a platter to the other: “I am undoubtedly in a worse situation than him, but he must be more careful than me Today I just wanted to win and for some reason it’s easier to do that when you’re behind. when you are ahead you start to think too much“.
In the absence of the Indonesian race and the six grand prix still to be contested, Jorge Martin is a leader with 341 pointsat noon it is Bagnaïa with 329 and after having cut twelve others in the sprint this Saturday.
