The six races where Jorge Martin gained ten poಞints or more over Francesco Bagnaia - his eventual title-winning margin...

Just ten points out of a potential season maximum of 740 separated new MotoGP champion 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jorge Martin from rival 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Francesco Bagnaia at the conclusion of this year'🎀s world championship.
These ꦉare the six races where Martin, who made history as the first satellite title winner of the ‘MotoGP’ era, outscored reigning double champion Bagnaia by at least that amount…

1. Portimao GP race, Round 2
Martin 1st (25 points)
Bagnaia DNF (0 points)
Martin (Sprint) and Bagnaia (GP) 💃began the year with a win each in the Qatar opener𓆉, arriving in Portugal just three points apart.
The pair were then third and fourth i🐽n the Portimao Sprint, but Martin suddenly gained 25 points over his main rival by winning the grand prix while a struggling Bagnaia crashed late in the race after tangling with Marc🌌 Marquez over fifth.
2. Jerez Sprint, Round 4
Martin 1st (12 points)
Bagnaia DNF (0 points)
Bagnaia’s second non-score of the season came in the damp Jerez Sprint where the Italian was sent down and out after becoming s⭕andwiched between Marco Bezzecchi and Brad Binder at Turn 1, on lap 3.
Mart🐼in won the Sprint but the tables were turned the following day when Bagnaia took a brilliant victory over M✱arc Marquez in the Grand Prix, while Martin crashed out.

3. Le Mans Sprint, Round 5
Martin 1st (12 points)
Bagnaia DNF (0 points)
Bagnaia failed to finish his second Sprint in a row, and suಞffered his third non-score in six starts, due to a techn💧ical issue at Le Mans.
“[The bike] was doing crazy things 🎃and I had to retire,” Bagnaia explained.
Martin took his onl🤡y 37-point weeℱkend maximum of the season by winning both French races, with Bagnaia finishing a close third to Martin and Marc Marquez in the grand prix.
4. Aragon Grand Prix, Round 12
Martin 2nd (20 points)
Bagnaia DNF (0 points)
Although Bagnaia crashed out of both the Catalunya (roundℱ 6) and Silverstone (round 10) Sprints, Martin only gaܫined six and nine points respectively.
The Spaniard also made mistakes in the Mugello Sprint and most notably the Sachsenring grand prix (round 9), where Bagnaia took th🅠e title ෴lead for the first time since Qatar.
Martin had snatched it back at Silverstone, but it wasn’t until round 12, at Aragon, that the Sp🉐aniard pulled 10+ points over Bagnaia in a single race again, finishing second to Marc Marquez while his title rival crashed out due to a costly late collision with Alex Marquez over third꧟.
Combined with ju♓st one point while struggling for grip in the Sprint, Aragon was Bag⛄naia’s worst weekend of the season.

5. Misano (Emilia Romagna) Grand Prix, Round 14
Martin 2nd (20 points)
Bagnaia DNF (0 points)
After taking 16 points out of Martin’s title lead at the San Marino round (where Martin made a big mistake by pitting during rain spots in the Grand Prix), Bagnaia chipped three more points away b♉y winning the Emilia Romagna Sprint du🅘ring MotoGP’s second visit to his home track.
Bagnaia was just 4 points behind Martin heading into the Grand Prix but endured his seventh DNF of the season when he crashed 🍬under braking while trying to chase down Martin and Enea Bast⛎ianini.
Th⭕e only good news for Bagnaia was that Bastianini went on to beat Ma꧙rtin with a controversial last-lap pass.
6. Sepang Sprint, Round 19
Martin 1st (12 points)
Bagnaia DNF (0 points)
The sixth and final double-dig🌜it swing in Martin’s favour came at the penultimate Sepang round and was surely the costliest.
Bagnaia had kept his title hopes alive 🔥by winning in the Buriram raiꦅn the previous weekend, trimming Martin’s lead to 17 points.
74 points wer🅰e still available and Bagnaia was 💙seen as the stronger rider at Sepang, where he landed a significant early blow by beating Martin to pole with a new lap record.
But the final t🐈wist in what Bagnaia had already called a ‘championship of mistakes’ - due to the DNFs he and Martin had suffered - saw the Ducati Lenovo star slide out of second behind the Pramac rider in the Sprint. It was his eighth and𓂃 final DNF of the year.
While Bag🍎naia won all three remaining races, Martin made sure he finished on the podium and was con🌼firmed as champion in the 40th and final race of the season in Barcelona (where Bagnaia claimed his fifth perfect 37-point maximum of the year).

Bagnaia’s five biggest gains…
Here are the five races (in chronological order) where Bagnaia helped keep his title hopes alive by cutting at least ten points from Martin’s world ✅championship lead…
Jerez GP, Round 4: 25 points (Bagnaia 1st, Martin DNF)
Mugello Sprint, Round 7: 12 points (Bagnaia 1st, Martin DNF)
