An opening-lap crash from the lead of the Indonesian Grand Prix sprint halved Jorge Martin’s MotoGP points lead, as title rival Pecco Bagnaia eased to victory instead
Jorge Martin’s MotoGP points lead was halved after crashing out at the start of the Indonesian Grand Prix sprint, allowing Pecco Bagnaia to claim victory and close the gap to only 12 points. Despite Martin’s dominant qualifying performance and initial lead, Bagnaia swiftly moved up to second position and inherited the lead when Martin crashed at Turn 16. Bagnaia was closely trailed by Marco Bezzecchi and Marc Marquez throughout the race, with Bezzecchi making a near-collision mistake that promoted Marquez to second place. Enea Bastianini’s strong late-race pace added another contender to the leading group, but Bagnaia managed to maintain his lead and secure the win by a narrow margin. Other notable finishes included Marquez in third, Bezzecchi in fourth, and Franco Morbidelli in fifth, after a challenging race with multiple overtaking attempts.
