A memorable Sunday, which hides però also a little sorrow.

Pecco Bagnaia è won the Grand Prix of Thailand at the end of a masterful race in the rain of Buriram, thus returning to shorten in the standings on Jorge Martin. The Ducati’s Piedmontese cheered at the end of the day for a result not so expected over the weekend, not hiding però to have experienced a little sorrow related to Marc Marquez.

In the decisive moment of the race, in fact, both Bagnaia and Marquz took advantage of an indecision of Martin to overtake him, then the Catalan of the Gresini team è relegated many positions due to a fall. "With him there'è was a good fight – Pecco told 'Sky Sport' – I also knew he was faster than me, but I didn’t want to let him pass because he could have run away. I had to make up as many points as I could, and I had to try to stay ahead of him. Then he è crashed, and it è really a shame that it ended like that&rave;".

However, Bagnaia stressed the weight of having nibbled a few points off the leader Martin: "Gudagnarne 5 against him moves the standings little, because é I remain at -17. But è very important with regard to my confidence, becauseé winning like that; really tastes very sweet. All the more so because this morning I wasné t very comfortable with the bike".

"Especially in braking I could not give my best, just for that I want to thank Ducati. After the analysis we did and after many conversations, they had the abilityà to make the right decisions. I realized right away in the race that the situation had improved, my pace è was good precisely because of that. Then it didn&#39t end, at the end there was no more traction, and I knew that the most important thing was not to fall. For all these reasons I am especially proud for the work we did", added Bagnaia.
