Crash.net gives a score out of 10 to every rider after the Thai MotoGP
Here's our rider ratings after the Aragon MotoGP - with one rider standing out after a return to form that almost landed him on the podium.Franceso Bagnaia’s World Championship was over on Saturday. He didn’t have the speed to match Jorge Martin and the reigning champion was cutting a seemingly defeated figure in the aftermath of the Sprint.
It sort of felt a bit like that in Thailand with Pedro Acosta, who ran wide at turn three early on in what was his first MotoGP race in the rain, and made several other smaller mistakes as he tried to recover from it. Marc Marquez’s Grand Prix is maybe the obvious example, having been challenging for victory for the first half, and then charging through the field for the laps remaining after he crashed out of second.
But, on Sunday, the rain meant that the harder construction was gone, and he was back to where he has been recently, among the Hondas and ahead of his teammate, Joan Mir. In Thailand, Bastianini’s crash was induced by his poor start. He started second, but was 13th at the end of the first lap — he was told by his Ducati Lenovo Team not to use the front start device to avoid wheelspin, but found himself with reduced power in the first sector of the opening lap.
