“Checking my pace, I wasn’t ready to win today…”
Enea Bastianini ’s Thai MotoGP Sprint victory was a dominant lights-to-flag display that saw him quickly build a gap, and then manage his advantage after the first three laps.
Bastianini led the race for almost the entire distance. He was out-dragged by Jorge Martin off the line, but when Martin tried to dive under Francesco Bagnaia on the brakes, both of them ran wide, and Bastianini was there to take advantage. Bastianini felt his performance was the result of finding something in the setup of his Desmosedici GP24, but he maintains concerns about his pace over Grand Prix distance.
Jorge Martin complained after the race that the heat of riding in the pack with other bikes in front made the race more difficult. Bastianini agreed with this, but added that there are also challenges of being at the front.“But it’s like this many times and all the riders know that. When you are behind, you have to stay out of the slipstream, and if the pressure is coming up it can be a disaster.
