Enea Bastianini finished third at the Malaysian Grand Prix but he is not happy with it as he won here last year. The Italian came back to within one point of Marc Marquez, against whom he will compete for third place in the championship during the final in Barcelona.
Third but disappointed: “I'm only one point behind (Marquez) but I hoped for better. Knowing me, I can't be happy today. Tomorrow I will see things differently and I will try to progress. We were missing something. I didn't feel as comfortable as last year, far from it. It's the fact that I go from victory to third place, with a very different gap. That means we were missing something. I cannot be satisfied when I cannot express my full potential. »
Bagnaia 24 points behind Martin, he 1 point behind Marquez: “We could help each other!” (laughs) Or maybe not. It will depend on how the race goes. There are so many variables. It's very difficult for us because Marc and Jorge are very fast in Barcelona. Of course, with 24 points behind, it's not going to be easy for Pecco to win the title. It's going to take a big mistake from Martin. It will be easier for me to finish third in the championship. »
The final in Barcelona: “Riding in Spain after what happened, I don't find it good. I don't agree at all. Obviously, it was decided because it was the only solution, so we will have to adapt. »
