P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Francesco Bagnaia says the difference between himself and Jorge Martin which led to him winning a second consecutive MotoGP title, was the type of race they specialised in.
Martin won more sprint races than Bagnaia, but in the grand prix on Sunday, Bagnaia had a better record. Bagnaia’s consistency and ability to be competitive in every race was too much for Martin in the end. Bagnaia had a challenging season both mentally and physically, but he didn’t make any excuses and pushed through. Martin’s title charge gained momentum when Bagnaia was injured, but Bagnaia still performed well and showed his strength in the following races. Bagnaia believes that being the strongest on Sunday is what matters the most.
