Enea Bastianini returns to dominate. Bagnaia finishes third ahead of Martin.
– In the Malaysian GP it is the day of Enea Bastianini. Finally, after an undoubtedly complicated season, the first joy has arrived for a rider who has never stopped believing in his potential. L’a terrible year is coming to an end and Bastianini’s results were certainly not up to par. It’s the fault of a feeling he’s never found with his bike until now, but above all it’s the fault of major physical ailments that forced him into the pits. Logical, therefore, hear about Jorge Martin on Official Moto. Right? No, certainly not. But it’s the logic of racing: whoever goes fastest competes for the best bike. Who knows if this victory, combined with the splendid team work on Saturday, will allow the Beast to remain sitting on the Ducati Factory. It would be the right reward for a tenacious boy and damn talentedwho this year had to pay too high a price with bad luck;
– Around the 15th lap we had the impression that Pecco he could have won it. The management of the first laps, perhaps tainted by the duel with Martin, foreshadowed a great comeback by the Turin driver in the final. Instead, a feeling he never fully found with his Desmo slowed down his greatest ambitions, both in sprints and in races. Bagnaia, great favorite in the pre-race, failed to satisfy expectations completely, I always get stuck at the foot of the podium and never really manage to fight for the victory. A half lap in vain, on a favorable track, which should have brought a few more points than those actually obtained;

– Alex Marquez and the Gresini team were consistent all weekend. For Marquez junior they achieved a second place in the race and a beautiful victory in the sprint race. Literally a dream weekend. For a few weeks, however, it has been logical to ask ourselves: who knows what Marc will be able to do with this bike. On paper, the performances of his brother Alex and Fabio Di Giannantonio are absolutely comforting and there are all the conditions for Marc to be able to shine again. Maybe spot-on, maybe not on all tracks but yet another race in which 5 Ducati-powered riders finish in the top 6 can give rise to hope Little bastard;
– Continue, however dark moment for Aprilia. After last season, which ended with Alexis Espargaró’s fourth place in the world rankings, it would have been reasonable to expect a different season. Instead the results were very mixed, with Espargaró less of a protagonist and more combative than usual. Especially in the final part of this season, both he and teammate Viñales achieved very unsatisfactory results. Aleix’s crash today seems to truly represent a surrender to this troubled season: rider on the ground, bike still on, helmet down and no desire to continue the race. Sin. The miracle of Noale, however, is there for all to see and we hope that next year Aprilia can return to be Ducati’s fiercest competitor;
– The ranking, with 4 races to go, remains more uncertain than ever. There are only 14 points that divide Bagnaia from Martin. Only one more than the conclusion of the last race in Thailand. On paper, the two contenders share the odds: one race each, Qatar for Bagnaia, Valencia for Martin. Pecco, however, has a great advantage over his rival. Those few points behind, in fact, allow him to have a match point next Sunday. Factor that could affect theattitude of Martin, who also seems handsome and ready for any battle. A solid rider physically but above all mentally, the Spaniard could still be under the pressure of not making any mistakes in order to be able to fight for a world title until the end;
