Francesco Bagnaia regained ground in his fight with Jorge Martin for the MotoGP title after capitalising on his rival’s first-lap fumble to win the Indonesian Grand Prix Sprint at Mandalika.
The defending double champion had expected to face a challenge in getting on terms with Martin during the 13-lap encounter after the Pramac Ducati rider blitzed the field by more than half-a-second for pole during qualifying earlier in the day.
