Bagnaia’s Thailand MotoGP sprint compromised by “useless” Zarco/Marquez battle
Pramac’s Jorge Martin reduced the championship leader’s points lead from 27 to 18 by winning his seventh sprint race of the year, while Francesco Bagnaia finished seventh, 4.1 seconds behind. Bagnaia admitted to missing the start which caused him to drop to ninth on the opening lap, losing contact with the podium contenders. Despite gaining positions, he was unable to improve further due to time lost battling with Johann Zarco and Alex Marquez. Bagnaia expressed frustration at their unnecessary battle, stating that it cost him valuable time and prevented him from catching the leaders. He also mentioned his dissatisfaction with his qualifying performance, attributing it to the inconsistency between the two tires he used and called for more consistency in that area from his Ducati team.
