It's an inconsequential fall, but a particularly strange one. This Friday, November 15 during free practice 1 in Barcelona, Francesco Bagnaia fell at the end of the session after being overtaken by Maverick Vinales (ESP / Apilia). However, the Italian does not seem to have been caught by the Spaniard and this fall certainly comes from a failure of the Ducati rider's front brake.
This event had no impact for Bagnaia who ranked 7th in free practice 1 but is obviously not reassuring before the crucial deadline to come. Takaaki Nakagami (LCR Honda) set the best time.
A final Bagnaia – Martin
This weekend in Barcelona, the world champion title will go to either Jorge Martin (ESP/Ducati-Pramac) or Francesco Bagnaia (ESP/Ducati). The two men have 485 and 461 points respectively before the last grand prix of the season.

For Francesco Bagnaia, victory is imperative if he wishes to retain his two titles. For Jorge Martin, the Barcelona grand prix could reward the consistency of the “Martinator” season, determined to win his first world title.
