MotoGP: Marc Marquez wins in Australia, Pecco Bagnaia slips to -20
Only three races to the end of the World
Great emotions at the GP d'Australia. At the end of a spectacular race, the success è went to Marc Marquez, to his third triumph of the season after Aragon and San Marino. The eight-time World Champion è was the protagonist of a heart-stopping finale in which è managed to get the better of Jorge Martin, wise not to risk more than so much to consolidate his leadership in the standings.
It should be noted that Marc Marquez è got off to a terrible start, however, managing to make up the gap quickly, confirming the fantastic state of form he is going through. The victory è was more than deserved even if the disadvantage in the standings from Jorge Martin (-79) makes a World Championship dream prohibitive.
Thanks to his second place finish, the Spaniard of Pramac increased his lead over Pecco Bagnaia, who finished third, to 20 points. The reigning World Champion, after a start at a good pace (è was first on lap 12°), struggled to stay with the two Spanish riders who, in fact, played for victory in the final laps. At the finish line, the delay accumulated by Pecco Bagnaia è was more than 10 seconds.
With only three races still to go, the race for the World title becomes complicated for Becco Bagnaia, who will now be forced to always finish ahead of Jorge Martin to try to challenge his certainties. In fact, thanks to the Sprint and Sunday’s race, Jorge Martin doubled his lead: from 10 to 20 points. Also of note was the good fourth place for Di Giannantonio while, in fifth place, the other Ducati of Bastianini.
