• Fabio di Giannantonio: “Good battle with Marc”ꦚ, Be💝zzecchi “didn't need a double crash” 

• Jo💜rge Martin sends message t🧸o Ducati: "This weekend I was number one"

A lap earlier, Bagnaia produced another masterclass in defence as he allowed Martin to go into turn two ahead, knowing the Pramac🔯 rider would go wide before completing a cutback.

But Martin made no such error in his second attempt at the same corner, which was the laꩲst change of lea🎐d.

Bagnaia stayed close to Martin, however, instead of going forward Bagnaia then lost the second to Marquez on the final lap🍷.

“I was trying to do the maximum but we must consider the weekend in a positive w🎶ay,” said Bagnaia post-race.

“Friday went in a perfect way and then there was a little issue in the spꦡrint which d♏idn’t allow us to finish the race.

“Today, these two were just faster. I tried to do the mℱaximum but in hte last few laps I struggled to have something more which was th꧃e opposite to Jerez.

“But in any case we improved a bit in this track.ꦿ Last year I crashed and two years ago I crashed, so it was important to finish the raꦉce and we did it in a fast way. 

“Happy about it but with a third position I can never really be sat🐬isfied. Let's move on to Barcelona and try to improve a bit.”

Once Martin overtook Bagnaওia it looked as thou🌌gh the championship leader was going to pull away.

But Bagnaia was extremely quick in sectors one and two which allowed him to stay close, even though he admitt💖ed he didn’t ha💝ve the pace needed overall.

“I was really strong in sector one and two, Sector two a lot,” added the reigning 𒐪world champion.

“Corner seven I was quite strong but then I was losing a lot i💛n the braking for corner nine. I saw th꧂at behind Jorge he was able to open the gap.

“It was really strange and I did🉐n’t have the feeling to brakeꦜ hard and put more speed in this corner but we will see why.

“Alsꦉo, Marc [Marquez] overtook me there. I was thinking that I was braking hard but I wasn’t able to stop the bike and use the front brake.

“Then he passed me. I think it w🌌as jusꦑt that they were faster.”
