P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Ducati’s Francesco Bagnaia has conceded that it was “impossible to beat” championship rival Jorge Martin to victory in the MotoGP Indonesian Grand Prix.
“Despite winning the Sprint race and trimming Martin’s championship lead, Bagnaia faced difficulties in the main race and settled for third place. He admitted to feeling resigned to such results initially, yet expressed his desire to be closer to Jorge after his earlier victory. Bagnaia struggled with his start and was unable to challenge for the lead, emphasizing the challenge of overtaking his rivals on a track with limited grip. Despite recovering three points in the championship, Bagnaia missed out on a potential four additional points due to an investigation into Pedro Acosta’s tyre pressure. Reflecting on his ongoing struggles with race starts, Bagnaia remains optimistic about his performance in Japan and is eager to address the issue to improve his results.”
