The MotoGP World Championship is not decided. Not at all. The Indonesian Grand Prix has made that very clear.. Jorge Martín finished the day on Saturday climbing into the lead after winning the 'sprint race', with a Pecco Bagnaia that could only be eighth. Sunday's, on the other hand, was a whole bucket of cold water for the Madrid native.. He made an excellent start and ran first for 11 laps, but ended up crashing and Bagnaia, who started from 13th on the grid, took advantage of his greater reliability to achieve his sixth win of the season and thus also regain the lead of the championship. in a test in which Maverick Viñales was second and Fabio Quartararo finished third.

Aggressiveness, the trick that allowed Martín to place himself first after the first corner, was also what ended up condemning him.. The Madrid native not only came out strong, but he even gained a couple of seconds over his closest pursuers, a group made up of Viñales, Bagnaia and Quartararo. But, far from controlling the times and minimizing risks, he opted to stay strong and hit the asphalt with 15 laps to go.. Bagnaia, who started from 13th on the grid to end up in third place, meanwhile, did the opposite: he opted to be patient, to wait for his moment. And his bet, in this case, was completely winning.. With eight laps to go, he took the lead and did not leave that position until the checkered flag fell.

“I think we deserved a race like this. Starting from 13th place, I gave my maximum in the first laps and, seeing Martín escaping, I thought 'come on, take care of your tires and wait for your moment'. And it was a good choice “, Bagnaia would confess at the end of a Grand Prix with many falls. In addition to Martín, Pol Espargaró, Marc Márquez, Augusto Fernández and Johann Zarco went down. Luca Marini, after falling at the start and trying to continue, for his part, finally had to abandon the race.
