Pecco Bagnaia seizes the opportunity and wins at Sachsenring, after an assist from Martin who slides badly on the penultimate lap while he was leading, giving the number 1 of the official Ducati team not only the victory, but also the leadership of the world standings. A wedding present for Bagnaia, who will be getting married in just a few days!
A mistake that cost Martin dearly, who despite a gap of half a second on Bagnaia probably had to ride at his best, thus making the mistake. Marquez also comes close, author of a spectacular race in a comeback from thirteenth to second position, despite the pain in his chest caused by the crash on Friday, where Marc was launched into the gravel by his Desmosedici at over 190 km/h. Marc’s brother, Alex, as well as teammate, closes the podium. A trio of all Ducatis, preceding the other two “reds” of Enea Bastianini and Franco Morbidelli.
Pecco’s joy also includes the record of most successful rider with Ducati, surpassing Casey Stoner’s record of 24 successes, unbeaten until now.
