Pecco Bagnaia deserved to celebrate winning the Indonesian Grand Prix from 13th on the grid and restoring his MotoGP championship lead. But his title defence still faces many of the same problems it did before that race
Pecco Bagnaia had never won a MotoGP race from as far back as 13th on the grid before the race in Indonesia. Prior to that, most of his wins came from first or second place. Following a difficult weekend, Bagnaia’s victory in Indonesia gave him a significant points lead, leading him to celebrate more energetically than usual. His pointed gesture of cupping his ear was aimed at those who speak too much before seeing the results. Some, like Jorge Lorenzo, felt that Bagnaia shouldn’t provoke his competitors by celebrating too early. However, Bagnaia clarified that his celebration was directed at the critics and haters who often make premature judgments. He acknowledged that it was lucky for him that his title rival, Jorge Martin, made a mistake during the race. Despite the win, it is not a guarantee that Bagnaia will consistently perform well from low grid positions in the future.
