The reigning world champion eventually finished third after losing out on second ꦆto Miguel Oliveira too.

After a difficult Friday Bagnaia was happy to accept a podium, saying: “We made a v🌜ery good step in front compared to ye𒁏sterday.

“This morning, without the yellow flags I would have been on pole so it cou🔜ld have been a 🌞bit different. 


“We also had problems in qualifying with the bike, so it was not the best day in ▨terms of consistency from the bike.

“In the race I tried everything but I was trying to manage too much. As soon as I Miguel overtook me I was behind with the tyre pressure 𒅌and it was very difficult behind these two guys. But we will try again tomorrow.”

🔯Bagnaia made one of his impressive race starts to ﷺgo from fourth to lead, but on lap two the factory Ducati rider was surprised when Martin slid through at turn nine.

Bagnaia, who th꧂en suffered with tyre pressures, said Martin was smart to take the lead when he did.

“He was very smart in that moment because one more lap and it would have been diff⛄icult for him because of the tyre pressure,” added the Italian.

“It was intelligent. I was trying to manage the rear tyre to be more competitive in the last part of 👍the ꦜrace but it was useless.

“He overtook me when it waꦡs the moment to overta🐈ke me.”

In♉ terms of Sunday’s main race, Bagnaia is hoping a change of to the medium rear will give him more chances to beat Martin🥂.

Bagnaia said: “It will be important not to lose positions and to try and manage everyt🌳hing. Today the 🦩front tyre was completely destroyed.

“Maybe it was because I was behind and the fron♈t tyre pressuꦡre was too high.

“Maybe with the medium re🎃ar and the long race we can🐎 be more competitive.”
