Francesco Bagnaia still leads the MotoGP World Championship, but as he arrives at the Indonesian GP, he has a slim three-point gap. This is the margin he’ll have to manage against Jorge Martín (Prima Pramac/Ducati) at a time when victories have eluded him since the Austrian GP.
The reigning champion is excited about this round: ‘I am thrilled to be back racing in Indonesia. The Mandalika race track is in a stunning area, and the Indonesian public’s passion for MotoGP is huge! I can’t wait to entertain all the fans who will come to watch us race this weekend!’.
Even though the championship is in a crucial stage, Bagnaia assured that he keeps his approach: ‘After the Japanese GP, we had a few days off to rest, so I am coming charged up to Mandalika, motivated to come back and fight for the win. My approach to the weekend has not changed: we must stay focused and do our best, as always, to get the best result. Again, the weather will be the big unknown here, but I am confident I can do well in any condition’.
