The Key to the Phillip Island Race

Date:

1. Martín’s choice of rear tire.

Jorge Martín played Russian roulette by riding the soft back tire. A risky bet that went well until 8 corners from the end, when, leading the race, he was overtaken by four drivers.

2. Ducati training works on medium tires.

Pecco Bagnaia and his team worked hard in training with the medium tire. This hurt him badly when it came to finding a place on the starting grid, but it meant he came out of the race knowing how he had to handle it. The result, secondly, proved him right.

3. The silence in Bagnaia’s career.

It wasn’t easy to keep a cool head watching his biggest rival for the title shoot and lose the race lead. But the Italian pilot knows how to stay calm and play his cards when the time comes. His second at the finish line and Martín’s fifth increased his lead in the championship.

4. Johann Zarco’s approach.

First victory in MotoGP for the veteran French rider, who understands that hooking himself to Bagnaia’s wheel will take him to the lead of the race, which is the case. When he got there he didn’t miss his chance. One of those breakthroughs that makes the whole paddock happy.

5. DORNA’s decision to promote the race.

It was not a key race, but the decision to move the long race from Sunday to Saturday due to the difficult weather forecast was key to seeing a race worth getting up early for. If it is a short race, the script is completely different.
