Francesco Bagnaia says he 𓃲“needed this mistake” from Jorge Martin in the MotoGP Emilia Romagna Grand Prix sprint race as overtaking𓆏 him “was very difficult”.

The reigning world champion set a new lap record to claim pole on Saturday at Misano, but once again found himself jumped by Pramac rider Martin off the line 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:in the sprint.

The pair ran line astern for the first seven laps, before Martin made a mis🍷take at Turn 13 on the eighth tour and allowed Bagnaia into a lead he would hold to th𓆉e chequered flag.

The sprint win has seen Bagnaia close ๊Martin’s championship lead down to just four points ahead of Sunday’s grand prix.

S꧒peaking after the race, Bagnaia says his win likely wouldn’t have been possible without Martin’s error.

“Super happy for what happened, for the race, because I think me and Jorge did someth꧒ing incredibl♓e in terms of pace: six seconds faster than two weeks ago,” he began.

“It’s impressive. The lap times we were doinꦍ✅g were [good enough] to start on the second row in qualifying, so this means a lot to me, to us.

“And tomorrow will be the same.

“So, we need to start better than today because I lost again ꦉtwo p🐓laces and tomorrow I will try to do the best start as possible and try to set my pace because I think we have some good potential to manage the gap.

“We had a little bit of differ𓃲ence compared to two we💦eks ago, which was that my physical condition was better.

“So, I was able t🌌o use my body better to control the movement⛄, to control the tyres.

“And it helped a lot because when it was remaining six laps I overtook him and from that moment I tried to push again to open the ga⛄p and control the gap.

“I needed this mistakes because it was very difficult to have an attempt. But I was planning to do it in one or two laps, but surely being 100% ꧋physical helped a lot.”

Bagnaia identified several areas on the track where 🌟he was thinking about lining up an overtake, but concedes he will have to “invent” something 🥂for the grand prix in case he finds himself stuck behind Martin again.  

“Corner 14, but also corner two, corner four, corner six,” he said of where ꦇhe wa🃏s thinking about attempting a pass on Martin.

“Every time we have to change direction is where I’m gaining a bit. It was risky for sure but for tomorrow we will be important🐼 to invent something in case we are behind.”

On the lap before Bagnaia took the lead, he suffered a big front end moment going through Turn 5ꦚ.

He has blamed this on the recently repaint⛦ed white lines bei♚ng too slippery.  

“Luckily, it was easy to controꦜl,” he said of the lap ꦇseven scare.

“But ♉the white lines after theyꦯ repainted them are very slippery and I don’t think they did a good job in this case.”
