Francesco Bagnaia triumphed in the Malaysian GP, surpassing his title rival Jorge Martin and gaining 5 points, bringing the championship battle to the season's final race. The official Ducati rider started with great momentum, managing to overcome the resistance of the Spanish Pramac team rider in the first laps thanks to some thrilling duels. He then took the lead and maintained a steady pace, crossing the finish line solo and partially redeeming himself after a slip in the Sprint Race. Enea Bastianini, also on an official Ducati, completed the podium. In Barcelona, where the final race of the season will likely take place, Martin will arrive with a 24-point lead over Bagnaia, while 37 points remain up for grabs, crucial in determining this year’s champion.
