Reigning MotoGP champion 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Francesco Bagnaia “did what I needed to” by taking pole position and the Sprint victory at the Solidarity Barcelona MotoGP season finale.

That has forced a Sunday title showdown against world championship leader 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jorge Martin.

After lo🌟sing out to Martin and Enea Bastianini at⛦ Turn 1 of the race, Bagnaia swiftly repassed the pair and was never headed.

Team-mate Bastiani🍎ni then put a last-lap move on Martin to deprive the Spaniard oဣf second place.

“I just missed a bit the first braking, I had a bit too much margin and both oꦑvertook me,” Bagnaia saiౠd.

“Then my pace was good enou﷽gh t♈o open a gap and just enjoy the moment. Without pushing that much I was opening a gap. So everything was fine.

“For tomorrow it will be different, we will have to chang⛎e the rear tyre because the soft is too soft and could have some problems in the last l♊aps.

“🍸But apar𝄹t from that I did what I needed to: Pole position then winning the Sprint.

“I just hoped that more riders were in the mix, but we know our potential right now and all season, 🔯even if one of us was in trouble, we finished second because we are in another lev🎐el.

“So I think that Enea did a very good job today. But for tomorrow I need something extraℱ again.”

Indeed, the odds ཧremain stacked in Martin’s favour, with third in the Sprint handꦏing the Pramac rider a 19-point advantage for Sunday.

That means even if Bagnaia wins his eleventh grand pri⛦x of the season, ninth for Martin will be enough to claim his first premier-c🌱lass crown.

But the pressure me🔜ans it🍨 might not be as simple as it sounds for the #89.

“In my case, no. But in his, yes💃,” Bagnaia replied, 🔜when quizzed if the situation for tomorrow is mentally difficult.

“I remember perfectly in 2022 [when Bagnaia had to protect a 23-point lead] and I think Jorge's suffering a bit the pre⭕ssure. 

"I saw all wee🍨kend, he was quite nervous and t🎶his is something normal. But I think when he's racing, he can manage well the situation.

“He 🅺did a very good job today, he managed to start in the second row and finished on the podium𝕴. 

"So I don't think it will be that 𓆉tri𒐪cky [for him] tomorrow.”

🦩Bagnaia also knows that the likes of Aprilia front-row starter Aleix Espargaro will try to assist Martin if the situation arises, having already 🐻towed the Pramac rider in qualifying.

“It's incredible their relationship and also Jorge next year will go to Aprilia and they would like to have the number🌠 one in the box,” Bagnaia said.

“So [Aleix] will never attack Jorge, will never overtake Jorge.🅰 And I ha♏ve to know it.

“For tomorrow, what will hap🉐pen, wi𝓰ll happen. 

"But I expect🌠 a race like today: Jorge cruising without taking risks and he has a lot of margin because if I win he can finish 9th.

“So this is quite 💞a difficult situation [for me], similar to mine in 2022.”

Team-ജmate Bastianini is embroiled in h😼is own battle with Marc Marquez for third in the world championship.
