Francesco Bagnaia won the MotoGP World Championship Tissot Sprint Race Saturday at Mandalika International Street Circuit, in Indonesia. Riding his Lenovo Team Ducati Desmosedici GP24, the two-time and defending World Champion won the 13-lap race by 0.107 second.
Bagnaia’s teammate Enea Bastianini was the runner-up.
After crashing twice during qualifying Saturday morning, six-time MotoGP World Champion Marc Marquez bounced back to score third on his Gresini Racing Ducati.
Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team Ducati rider Marco Bezzecchi was fourth.
Prima Pramac Racing’s Franco Morbidelli made it a top-five sweep for Ducati.
World Championship point leader Jorge Martin crashed, remounted, and finished 10th – outside of the points.
Bagnaia’s win combined with Martin’s crash allowed Bagnaia to cut his points deficit down from 24 to 12.
