Francesco Bagnaia needs more than a victory to come away from the Barcelona Grand Prix as a three-time MotoGP champion. Only some misfortune on Jorge Martin’s part could swing the title battle in his favour in the final round of the season.
The factory Ducati rider rode admirably on Saturday to clinch victory in the sprint and slash Martin’s advantage from 24 points to 19, while establishing himself as the rider to beat at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.
