MotoGP points leader Francesco Bagnaia says that while he is happy to have extended his overall advantage over Jorge Martin
The factory Ducati rider, Pecco Bagnaia, aimed to increase his lead at the Sepang International Circuit after losing ground to his rival, Jorge Martin, in the previous race. Despite finishing third in the sprint race and losing two points, Bagnaia had a stronger performance on Sunday. He defended against Martin’s attacks in the early laps and then pulled away to secure a third-place finish. Bagnaia extended his points lead by one, bringing it to a total of 14. However, he admitted that he was not satisfied with the result and wants to increase his lead further in the upcoming race in Qatar. Bagnaia mentioned struggling with a strange feeling under braking due to excessive front-end movement during the Malaysian GP, which hindered his ability to close the gap to the leading riders.
