The Ducati rider gains 19 points with his 10th podium of the season and recovers championship ground lost to Jorge Martin in Aragon
Francesco Bagnaia feels a “maximum” second place in the San Marino Grand Prix has provided the ideal result to slash into Jorge Martin’s MotoGP points lead. For the second year in a row Bagnaia performed a ‘phoenix’ effect at his home grand prix, following 2023 when he kept his pursuit of a second title on course with a podium finish at Misano just one week after a massive smash in Barcelona.
“Yesterday I was angry because I had the chance…but I didn’t take it,” he said of his runner-up result behind Martin in the Saturday sprint; a result that had pushed the gap up to 26 points. “But today was the maximum I could do.” Francesco Bagnaia, Ducati Team Photo by: Gold and Goose / Motorsport Images Bagnaia also felt the recovery from his heavy Aragon crash added shine to his results in Misano. “After Aragon it was a really tough Monday,” the Italian explained.
