Jorge Martin had the first match ball available against Pecco Bagnaia, but the Piedmontese rider’s victory in Sepang Sunday postponed the Spaniard’s party. Between the two, however, it was a real duel in the first five laps, where no one was spared.
The confrontation between Jorge and Pecco kept everyone with their breath in their throats, starting with Paolo Campinoti, who in the Pramac box followed the challenge with great emotion. In the post-race we managed to intercept him, snatching a couple of jokes: “It was an incredible race – the Tuscan manager told us – one mistake was enough to ruin the whole season. Pecco and Jorge were great, really incredible their duel.”
For Pramac this was a challenge with a special flavor between past versus present: “Exactly! I am very happy with them, because Pecco and Jorge have grown with us. I think it’s a great satisfaction.” Filed the Malaysian stage, now all the anticipation is for Barcelona, the final challenge for the title, scheduled in just two weeks.
