P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Francesco Bagnaia says MotoGP title rival Jorge Martin was the only rider that could make the soft rear tyre last for a full race, but that the drop he suffered was no surprise.
The reigning MotoGP champion, Pecco Bagnaia, executed a late race attack perfectly, passing three riders in just two laps, thanks to Johann Zarco creating an opportunity. Despite a slow start, Bagnaia’s pace was impressive, and although other riders initially pulled away, he managed to gain more points in the title fight. Bagnaia worked on the medium rear tyre for the race, even though the grip level was lower than last year. In the final lap, Bagnaia overtook his title rival, Jorge Martin, who had chosen to race with a soft rear tyre and was struggling. Bagnaia remained calm and managed his tyres well, knowing that Martin’s soft tyre strategy would result in a drop in performance.
