The reigning worl🐠d champion, sixth in the dry Saturday Sprint, sp🍎ent the opening half of the wet grand prix sandwiched between Alex Marquez and Franco Morbidelli for third.

The Iꦏtalian then wrestled second from the Gresini machine of Marquez, where he looked set to finish, with VR46’s Marco Bezzecchi having already escaped into the dis💯tance.

But it all came undone just a few laps later when Bagnaia lost the front of his Desmosedici throug🍷h the final sequence of right-handers.

“I crashed. I'm very upset, sincerely. I had this kind of crash that you don't underst🌳and,” he said. “Someti𝔍mes you crash and you don't know why, and these are the most difficult to understand, the most difficult to learn from.

“In those 16 laps I did the same manoeuvre but in this lap I crashed. It's also not a normal crash, because normally when you lose the front, it's because you 🐠braked too much or you released the brakes too early.

“Today I lost the front touching the gas. So it's something that is more dif༺ficult to understand. But that's it. I did a mistake.

“I was wondering that this year I 🍃was a better rider, more precise, without mistakes, doing better thinℱgs, but the second race of the year and I already crashed.

"So it's something that makes me very angry.”

The incident sounded similar to some of the ‘pressure off꧑’ accidents that Bagnaia suf✨fered in the opening half of last season, after which he fought back from 91 pointꦯs down to win the world title.

“I was feeling really great. Without forcing, without doing crazy things, I was ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚsecond. I was already sure that Marco in front was too fast for me, I was⭕ already with 5 seconds of gap,” he said.

“I was just controlling the [gap] with Alex. And that's it. But it's for that reaso𒉰n that I'm more upset. Because normally when you conജtrol, you don't have to crash like this, and this is something that I have to understand.”

The doub🍸le Portimao winner re-joined the race but finished 16th and last, costing him the title lead to VR46 Academy colleague Bezzecchi by 9 points.

“I'm happy for Marco, I think he really deserved the victory. He was unbeatabl🐻e this weekend,🐟” Bagnaia said. “He was very competitive yesterday, very competitive today in the wet.

“So his first win in Moto3 was here, his first win in MotoGP is here, so he can be very proud of himself, 🐓and I'm confident that he will be very competitive all of the season.”

Bagnaia's factory Ducati team-mate Enea Bastia🌳nini missed the event 🔴due to his fractured shoulder in the Portimao Sprint.
