Bagnaia’s lead at🍃 the top of the championship was reduced to 33 points after Martin won theꦚ sprint race at the Indian MotoGP.

Martin has now won t🐭hree races in a row to bring himsel♌f back into serious title contention.

Reigning champion Bagnaia was asked about Martin’s form, and said: “Like always, when a rival finds momentum. He has found a solutionཧ within himself to pu🔯sh.

“We wil൩l have, again, the same possiꦿbility to fight for a win.

“We know perf🌳eꦛctly that we are one of the strongest.”

Bagnaia believes his terrifying incident at the Catalan MotoGP, w🦩here he highsided and was then struck by Brad Binder, is part of the reason for conceding ༒momentum.

“But we had the iಌncident in Barcelona, which was big,”ꦰ he said.

“Right now, Jorge is doing a good job.

“Three weekends that we’ve lost points.

“We have to be calm. To understand the situation, and to n𝔉ot be frustrated.

“I didn’t have the speed of Martin [on Saturday]. Consider the consistency, the championshiཧp is long ♓and we know our potential.”

Bagnaia fi🌟nished second in the sprint race behind Martin.

“Happy overall with the result. Bez and Martin 🐼were too fast,” he s൩aid,

“We have to find 💎a solution, we already know where the problem is.”

Ma⛦rtin, however, insisted he wꦫasn’t even riding to the limit.

“I start🔯ed super good, I put a great pace on the track,” Martin said.

“♕I tried to be smooth and not make mistakes, and to understand the tyres.

“We got good information for [Sunday].

“I🗹’m proud of my team. So happy and confident for tomorrow.

“I didn’t need to be 100% today, I tried to conserve a bit. I was trying ൲to understand the conditions.

“[The title fight] is open. I feelജ better than I’m used to feeling in the middle of the season.”
