Francesco Bagnaia was left relieved to have survived a tough opening portion of the Thai Grand Prix, the Italian remarking
The factory Ducati racer had a better start in the race compared to the previous day’s sprint encounter. He moved up to fourth position at the start but soon found himself in a tough battle with KTM’s Brad Binder, who made a tough move on him, causing him to drop back to sixth. Because of the intense nature of the battle, he had to abandon his plan of saving his rear tire and push hard to catch up to the leaders. He couldn’t pass the front runners and finished third, but later moved up to second after Binder was penalized. Despite the reduced points advantage, he considered the result not bad considering the circumstances. He nearly made a great overtake around the outside at the final corner but was run wide by another rider. He felt that his overtakes during the race were some of the best he has made in years.
