A block pass at turn nine then left Bagnaia vuln🌟erable to title rival Jorge Martin, before the Pramac rid🍬er came through five corners later.

Bagnaia immediately lost touch with the front two and instead d🎐ropped into the clutches of team-mate Enea Bastianini.

Asked what went wrong during the race, Bagnaia told MotoGP.com: “Something thaꦑt I don’t understand. Thanks to the sprint we will have data for the race tomorrow. 

“But my feeling was not the same. Already from the start [of the race]♚ compared to yesterday and this morning. We will check and 🔯it’s something to improve. 

“The pace at the start was quite good but then I started struggling a lot with the front♒. It was hard to stop and enter the corner fast.”

Bagnaia’s disappointing result came just hou𝐆rs after running a very good pace in practice and qua😼lifying.

A new all-time lap record was set by the reigning MotoGP champion en route to pole position, his seventh of the campaign. ✤;

But Bagnaia knows that racing is the most important and that clawing pointsꦡ back a♍gainst Martin is a must. 

Bagnaia added: “Pole position🌄 is always a fantastic place to be and is very positive. We have to be happy and doing the all-time lap record is something to be proud of. 

“Pole position is okay but it꧋’s more important 🌜to finish the race at the front. We need to take some points from Jorge.”
