“We’re in Misano, I really wanted to, for my fans.” Marco Bezzecchi was unable to catch Jorge Martin; he came closea couple of smudges made him lose contact, but he gritted his teeth andSecond place counts as a victory, with his hand plastered and the pain biting. Martin on the other hand started from a historic pole, a record destined to stand, he put his Ducati Pramac to the test (official, unlike Bezzecchi’s) and kept the Romagna danger at a safe distance, he didn’t do anything wrong, after the spot-on start. The last time he won the Sprint, in Germany, this year, Martin then won again the following day in the Grand Prix. Given the precarious conditions of the two VR46 friends, over the distance Jorge could really confirm himself.
Bagnaia defends third place with teeth
For Bagnaia, who defended third place from Pedrosa with his teeth, it will be important to contain the damage. He has a 45 point lead over Martin in the standings, he can’t waste anything, but the KTMs are flying. Pedrosa (three titles between 125 and 250 and 31 victories in the top class until 2018, the year he stopped competing) is not to be underestimated, even if he doesn’t have the race pace of his opponents. But class is not water, an old saying that is never as current as in his case. And as well Binderwho barely got rid of an excellent one Vinales (their duel ignited the race in the immediate rear) can become dangerous over distance. However, Pecco went beyond expectations (and the pain), the podium was not a given, despite racing on the circuit where he often trains with the other Academy riders. At the start he did a spectacular startovertaking on the outside Bezzecchi, who then regained second place, thanks to an error by Bagnaia on the third lap, a long shot at the “sunset” curve. Error repeated by the Piedmontese on the eleventh pass, which opened the door, which was immediately closed again, for Pedrosa. Try stoic, imagining the effort. An appetizer of what he might have to endure on Sunday, perhaps to an even greater extent.
