Ducati rider reflects on crucial sprint win
Francesco Bagnaia says the 2024 MotoGP season is “a championship of mistakes” after winning the Indonesian Grand Prix sprint following points leader Jorge Martin’s crash.
Despite his sprint win, Bagnaia doesn’t want to dwell on its significance because of how quickly the championship picture keeps changing in 2024 - and offered a theory as to why this is. “All the season, all the circuits we improved the pace a lot. But when you are at this limit it is easy to have a crash. So, it’s super important for the championship but we have to be focused.”when he spoke to the media, and instead believes his crash had something to do with the asphalt at Turn 16.
However, he feels he has been able to take a step forward in improving his bike on Saturday and says he could have qualified better than fourth had it not been for yellow flags at the end of Q2.“But this morning we did a step, in the qualifying I understood something that I didn’t finalise because of the yellow flags.“And when I saw Jorge entering that corner, I said ‘if he closes that line, I will take four seconds’, because he was entering much, much, much faster and with a lot of lean angle.
