Francesco Bagnaia says his recovery ride from 13th to victory at Mandalika ‘means many things’ after he reclaimed the MotoGP championship lead.
After relinquishing the series lead to Jorge Martin following the Spaniard’s sprint win at the Indonesian MotoGP, Bagnaia looked on course to drop more points.
Bagnaia, who never lost the lead from that point forward, said this after his first win since Austria: It’s a great moment for sure. Yesterday I was quite upset after the qualifying and the sprint race because I was struggling a lot to set a fast lap with new tyres. “But today we improved a lot. In the warm-up I already felt better and in the race I just tried to do the maximum at the start.
“The last lap I really enjoyed and I knew that the guys behind were catching but I just tried to close out the lap.”
