No one remained indifferent to the thrilling Grand Prix of Indonesia. According to Álex Crivillé, former rider and champion in the now MotoGP category, it was one of the most exciting races in recent times.
‘It was one of the most exciting races of this season. While it is true that on Saturday, after winning the Sprint, Jorge Martín was the main candidate to win, unfortunately, the joy was short-lived. Bagnaia was very consistent, knew how to manage the race, and the tires worked perfectly, helping him to return to the lead. We should highlight that Pecco started in 13th place, which made his life very difficult, but still he managed to recover and maintain concentration until the last moment. Under pressure and despite the circumstances, it is not easy to win. It was admirable what he did,’ commented the former rider.
Despite the 18-point cushion Pecco has over Martinator with five races remaining in the season, anything can happen, Crivillé predicts. ‘For Jorge Martín, it was a shame to crash while leading, no one likes to go through that. The championship is super exciting and will be won by the rider who can best handle the pressure on and off the track. Vinãles’ second place was sensational. We couldn’t ask for more. It was pure motorcycling,’ he concluded to the newspaper Marca.
