At the end of the Malaysian GP, Bagnaia increased, by a tiny point, his lead over Martin. Now the two are expected in Qatar for a GP that could also be decisive for the awarding of the World Championship.

Agostini, a former motorcycling champion, has his own take on the tight confrontation between the two riders engaged in the fight for the World Championship: "It is played on a knife edge. È a battle also of nerves. Bagnaia canò control, if there’s no Martin in front, he è calm, he doesn’t have to win. His strategy è run on Jorge", his words to Gazzetta dello Sport.

L'81 former champion è also aware of another detail, namely the fact that Bagnaia has already won a World Championship and, therefore, has on his side the experience of knowing how to deal with certain moments: "Pecco the stress of being able to win knows him, Martin does not. I am curious to see how he will reactà".
