They overtook each other, while 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Fabio Quartararo fi🐷nished third in Sepang, meaning Bagnaia is two points from becoming MotoGP champion at the final race in Valencia.

Team manager Davide Tardozzi reveꩲaled to BT Sport about the anguish in the Ducati garage as their ✤two star men fought on the track.

“I anticipate th𝓰e question: ‘Did you say something to Enea?’

“Yes.

“‘Don’t be too hard with other Ducati riders’.

“That’s it.

“I think the proof is that when Enea overtook Pecco, he was three or four tenths slower. They understand that, when staying behind,𒆙 it is easier to foꦕllow.

꧙“In front you could still go with the same times, but he didn’t.

“We were nervouཧs b▨ecause we were thinking: ‘Do we trust our riders?’

“The answer was yes.

“Obviously we were nervous because we still have [MotoGP Argentina 2016 when two Ducati bikes crashed out together] in fro𓄧nt of our eyes and we don’t want it again.

“That was a bad, bad thing.

“We didn’t give orders. They knew what to do.”

Bastianini won a three-way tussle with fellow Ducati riders 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jack Miller and168澳洲5最新开奖结果: Jorge Martin to earn a seat alongsi꧅de Bagnaia next season in the factory teamജ.

Their relationship will certainly🌌 be something to keep a close eye on, after t𝓰heir pulsating on-track battles.

Bagnaia is 23 points ahead of Quartararo in the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:MotoGP standings and looks odds-on to sec🌞ure his maiden championship in Vale𝓡ncia, at the season finale, in two weeks.

“Never say never,” said Tardozzi. “Two points are two points. If Quartararo wins, Pecco just needs to finish the r💛ace.

“We keep our feet on the ground.

“Knowing we need only two points to 🃏win the championship, ဣall the Ducatis will be free.

“The orders will be the same: ‘Don’t ove⭕rtake other Ducatis if it is very dangerous’.”

"Bastianini thought: 'Game on!'"

BT Sport’s Sylvain Guintoli added about Bas𝓡tianini: “He’s not in the factory team so he won’t get the same salary. He wil𝓰l get a big bonus for being in the top three. So why not?

“Ducati say: ‘If it’s for the win, you can race’.

“I love that he didn’t hold back, h🀅e put Pecco under pressure.

“Enea had good rhythm but Pecco didn’t panic.

“Enea thought: ‘Game on’.”
