After watching a Ducati rider get the better of him for a third consecutiv▨e race, Bagnaia was peerless during the Dutch M📖otoGP.

Bagnaia tried to take the lead at turn one initial❀ly, only for Brad Binder to st𓆉un the world champion with a late-braking manoeuvre before Bagnaia made his race winning overtake two laps later.

• Stunning admission on Marc Marquez: “Honda doesn’t want pe꧅ople who aren’t happy” 
• RIDE🍰R RATINGS: Bagnaia and Bezzecchi standout, but🔯 who suffered the worst grade?

Despite Binder and Marco Bezzecchi both trying to reel him back in at different stages, Bagnaia always had an answer en route to his sixth 🌸win of the seaso✅n. 

"I tried as soon as possible because of the front tyre temperature," said Bagnaiaꦫ post-race. "When you are so close behind, it’s very easy to pick up the temperature and the front tyre was a bit too soft. 

"I just tried to push lap-by-lap, and when I saw that Bez was close - he closed the gap by three tenths in one lap - I tried to push a lot again an♈d control the 🔥gap. 

"When I noticed in the last lap that I started it with nine tenths [advantage] I wa😼s more calm."

After swapping the soft rear tyre for a medium due to the Grand Prix being much longer, Bezzecchi didn’t quiteไ have the same level of performance as the sprint.

However, that’s not the reason he couldn’t challenge Ba💫gnaia, ♕as a problem with the rear of his machine was the cause. 

Bezzecchi began by saying: "Very happy because this weekend we did a very good job. We have to be satisfied because I was leading every session, made t▨he pole position which, in qualifying, I’m normally not very good at, and also won the sprint with a very good race.

"To make another podium is fantastic. I’m satisfied because in the final part of the lap I had a probel with the 𒁃bike that created a📖 lot of nerves. I was really scared that I could lose the podium."

Asked what the exact issue was, Bezzecchi claimed a vibration was limiting his ability ༺to carry speed in faster corners. 

"When I finally got very close I had to try and to risk. 💝I prepared the overtake🌌 after corner five and I exited very fast. 

"Already into six I was leading before the braking. But then I pushed the gap a little bit to close [the gap] to Pecco and then I started to have this vibration on the🤪 rear that was very strong. 

"I was very scared because I couldn’t lean the bike very far on fast💞 corners."
