The Key to the Sachsenring Race

1. Martin’s mistake.

This time he was ‘bent’ by the pressure. Until the penultimate lap he did the perfect race, overtaking Bagnaia, leading the race to avoid any pressure problem. But when Bagnaia started to reduce him by tenths of tenths he made a huge mistake, going to the ground.

2. Bagnaia’s flawless management.

Today the World Champion showed the cold blood of a man who knows what he is doing. He didn’t care that Martín had escaped, that a menacing Alex Márquez had arrived on his spinning wheel. Bagnaia followed his plan. He waited, he waited until he thought the time had come to find the escaped Martín. He cut him a tenth until he was brought to the ground. 10 career cum laude for Ducati

3. The Márquez/Morbidelli incident on lap 22.

Marc and the Italian driver had a typical conflict when a driver moves away when braking and the space he was looking for is occupied. A maneuver that came very close to crashing Marc, but as he explained after the race, far from scaring him, the accelerator unleashed a storm that ended up taking him to second place on the podium…This is Marc Márquez on 1,000%

4. The evolution of Ducati throughout the weekend.

The work of improvement throughout the weekend is what makes the Ducati unbeatable every Sunday. They have a system that makes sure all their bikes run smoothly on Sunday. They occupied the first five positions in the race; They demoralized the competition.

5. Martín lost his leadership.

There are still plenty of championships to go, but to see how the championship lead was lost before going into the summer break was, admit it or not, a morale blow. Especially since Bagnaia’s winning streak was about to be broken so it destroyed the accumulated advantage. With the United Kingdom GP held in the first week of August, the World Championship will start at 0
