1. Jorge Martín’s super moment.
He crashed in Q2, which led him to score ‘only’ sixth place on the grid. In the race, in the first lap he passed in fifth, in the second third, in fifth second, and in the ninth he was first. Fourth straight victory in Saturday’s short race; Martín is already the leader of the World Cup.
2. Aleix Espargaró’s bad start.
He was by far, far, the one with the best speed yesterday. In Q2 he qualified third, but a bad start relegated him to sixth position when first crossing the finish line. He did not complete the second lap when he fell to the ground.
3. Bagnaia’s puncture in Q1.
In the morning – Indonesia time – his teammate left him in Q2, relegating him to 13th position on the grid. In the race he finished eighth, again behind his teammate. It is clear that in the official Ducati team there are no team orders.
4. Viñales’ rear tire failure.
Maverick took advantage of his second place on the grid to make his best start since joining Aprilia and in the first six laps he built up a valuable advantage. From there a rear tire failure thwarted his possible first Aprilia victory.
5. The ‘machada’ by Marco Bezzecchi.
On Wednesday, when he woke up in Europe, he didn’t know if doctors would give him the go-ahead to ride a bike after surgery on his right collarbone in three days. He reached Mandalika yesterday morning; today he finished on the podium.
