Ducati’s Francesco Bagnaia took a vital Indonesian Grand Prix victory from 13th on the grid to retake the MotoGP points lead after runaway race leader Jorge Martin crashed.
Pramac’s Martin moved seven points clear of Bagnaia after a dominant sprint victory on Saturday and looked on course to inflict further damage on the world champion in Sunday’s contest. Taking the lead from sixth on the grid off the line, Martin was three seconds out front when he slid off his Pramac Ducati at Turn 11 on lap 13 of 27.
433s covered the podium trio, with Bagnaia celebrating his sixth grand prix victory of the year and his first since the Austrian GP in August. Gresini’s Fabio Di Giannantonio was a season-best fourth ahead of VR46’s Marco Bezzecchi, who remains in outside contention for the championship at 63 points adrift despite collarbone surgery just seven days ago.
