Factory Ducati rider Bagnaia is 13 points clear of second-place 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jorge Martin with three rounds remaining.

But Pramac rider Martin is the man in form having won💞 both races ꧙at Buriram.

Michael Laverty asse🧜ssed Bagnaia for TNT Sports: “He always comes forward. Race-day on Sunday, they always find something overnight.

“He feels that he’s recovered every𝕴thing he lost recently - the confidence in braking, the overtakes, the a꧋bility to fight.

“He did have to tough it out🔯 on the early laps. Marc Marquez racing you hard is never a nice🐼 way to start any race!

“He 💧settled 🐷the ship, he came forward, he scored 20 points. He rode well.

“How are you goi🧔ng to deal with the 13 points? It’s not enough to relax ⛎when Jorge is on form.

“He’s got to go back 🐷to the drawing board. He’s got to fight again.

“He can’t afford to be the third-placed man across the line. He has to win a🍒 race.”

Ex-MotoGP rider John Hopkins added: “That race has only given Martin more confidence going into the final three races. He’s the man thღat everyone wants to beat. 

“Bagnaia knows h🃏e’s got to do something special in Malaysia and Qatar to keep hold oꦐf this championship.”

Martin 'answered every call'

Bagnaia has, at least, rediscovered the conꦿfidence which briefly seemed to have been lost.

But with just six races over three rounds, Mar𓆉tin’s form looks ominous.

"Three riders on top of their game, and that’s why it means so much for🐠 Jorge today because he had to fight for it," said Laverty.

"He didn’t have the extra pace. He didn’t have an extra bit of grip from tyre.⭕ It was all🍒 about heart, it was fight. 

“He was taking risks ♏because when you’ve got a championship hanging in the balance, ꦿyou are worried about losing the front and throwing away 25 points.

"He answered every call today and when it’s Brad Binder, you cꦚan feel him behind you because Brad is an absolute animal. He fights every single corner. 

“Martin kept his cool, he responded – he was so g🎀ood today. If he does win the title at the end of the season, he’ll look back at this race and think that’s where he dug deep for it."
