Bagnaia led nearly the entire race be🅠fore Fabio Di G🌟iannantonio overtook him with four laps remaining.

Bagnaiꦉa, who still took huge points out of title rival Jorge Martin despite losing the victory, was not fully 🐻happy although he did admit the championship position was a big bonus.

• Four riders𒁃 under minimum tyre pressure in Qatar MotoGP race 
• Di Giannantoni🦹o: “After Malaysia something happened and it was not good…”

“Happy but not happy at 100%,” said the world champion. “I did what I was expecting from myself. Yester💃day I was expecting this pace but I wasn’t able to do it. 

“Today, everything went perfect and from the start I ꦫtried to push. I did my ideal race and it was nice to be back leading and pushing. 

“It was a long time since I did my pace so I was very happy. H꧒appy for the pace we showed but I’m not happy for the♑ mistake that I already did in the past. 

“In 202🅷1 I did the same with Johann Zarco. I’m not happy about that because usuallꦏy you learn from your mistakes. 

“I was not expecting this type of sucking from the slipst🐻ream. Di Gia was fantastic all weekend and his🙈 pace was faster than mine.”

Wit🐠h Jorge Mꦬartin unable to achieve anything more than a P10 result, Bagnaia leads the championship by over 20 points with one round to go. 

Speaking about his rival’s tough day, Bagnaia said: “🥃Jorge had a very bad start and it put him in the back. But then I saw that he was struggling with his pace. 

“I don’t know what happened but maybe the same thing happened as it did with me ⛄yesterd🍃ay. 

I didn’t hear [what happened to him]. “I was expecting him to be fourth but I didn’t know that he was teꦍnth. I saw it on the big screen that he was struggling.🐼”
