1. Bagnaia and Martín’s duel to the ‘death’ in the first round.
The two began to realize very clearly that they needed to get to the front of the race to escape the front tire temperature rise that would develop by riding behind the other. It was a ‘merciless’ lap where both rode at a stratospheric speed.
2. Martín’s braking pass at the chicane on lap 2.
In the ‘all or nothing’ duel between Martín and Bagnaia, the former made a mistake on the second lap entering the chicane that would have distanced him from the Italian driver, an action that would later be punished by a long lap.
3. The ‘of the second’ rule.
The law says that to compensate for skipping a chicane like Jorge Martín did, he has to give up for a while. The Madrid driver entered the track before it was fully completed, leading Race Direction to penalize him for a long lap where he lost more than two and a half seconds.
4. Márquez does not accept the reality of his situation.
Your winning spirit will help you. After finding himself in second as soon as Martín completed the long lap, he picked up his pace. In the lap before the drop the times were… Bagnaia 1’29.9 / Márquez 1’29.6 / Martín 1’29.8… Needless to explain.
5. The consistency of Aleix Espargaró.
It was not a key to the race itself, but the key to Aleix Espargaró’s unexpected podium. On his anathema circuit, he went from being late in the first practice session yesterday to finishing on the podium today. Espargaró has admirable resilience.
