They say that man is the only animal that stumbles twice on the same rock. But this does not apply to Pecco Bagnaia. The Italian did not delay Jorge Martin when it looked like he would fall into the Spaniard’s trap again, as happened in the San Marino GP Sprint in the same scenario. However, in this second meeting in Misano for the Emilia-Romagna GP, The Italian took the most offensive version and forced the Madrid native’s mistake to grab Saturday’s race victory. and push for an incredible World Cup. Only four points separate the two and the rivalry couldn’t have been better.
Enea Bastianini finished with a good pace but was far from fighting for victory and had to settle for third place on the podium. As for Marc Marquez The Spaniard’s exit was spectacular but the podium drivers’ good run was cut short. He finished in fourth position.
The departure followed two weeks ago
Two weeks ago, at the same stage, Pecco Bagnaia looked surprised by Martín at the start. This time, also from the post, the Italian knew that if everything went well he would have it all. But Jorge repeats what happened two weeks ago to keep everyone speechless
The Spaniard in the first meter overtook the Italian and Binder followed in his wake. Taking advantage of the fact that Pecco lost some valuable seconds overtaking the KTM rider, Martín gained a distance of six tenths. Marc Márquez also started perfectly and by the middle of the first lap he was fourth behind three Ducati GP24s on the grid.
From there Bagnaia squeezed into a good rhythm to catch up with his rival for the title. He set the fastest lap with a 1:30.792 and he stayed half a second behind Martín, who also gave nothing away.
The Italian pressure was suffocating. He stuck to Pramac’s tail for six laps and caused very little to be expected: a small error from Martín. He opened up too much in turn 14 and Bagnaia didn’t hesitate to dive to regain first place.. Euphoria was released in the stands and the local idol began to squeeze out a brutal rhythm to escape the lead. At the back, the positions were consolidated with Bastianini closing the podium.
Márquez suffered more on Saturday and the proof of that was when he went wide at turn 13. Fortunately for him, Acosta was far away and his fourth place was not in danger anytime soon. The four Ducatis crossed the finish line led by Bagnaia, who had his fourth sprint victory this year.
Finally Pedro Acosta was the best KTM, who was fifth and passed Brad Binder. Fabio Quartararo, who had a great weekend in the transalpine lands, finished seventh. Bezzecchi, Morbidelli and Viñales are the TOP10.
