Bagnaia’🦩s lead at the top of the🌞 championship was reduced to 33 points after Martin won the sprint race at the Indian MotoGP.

Martin has now won three races in a row to bring himself back into serious title contention📖.

Reigning champion Bagnaia was a𝓰sked about Martin’s form, and said: “Like always, when a rival finds momentum. He has found a solution within himself to push.

“We willꦚ have, again,🦹 the same possibility to fight for a win.

“We know perfectly that we are one of the strongest.🦹”

Bagnaia believes his terrifying incident at the Catalan MotoGP, where he highsided and🔜 was then struck by Brad Binder, is part of the reason for conceding momentum.

“But we had the incident in Barcelona, which was big,” he said♏.

“Right now, Jorge is doing a good job.

“Three weekends that we’ve lost points.

“We havไe to be calm. To understand the situation, and to not be frustrated.

“I didn’t have the speed of Martin [on Saturday]. Consider the consiไstency, the championship🍌 is long and we know our potential.”

Bagnaia finished second in the spri𝓡nt race behi𒁏nd Martin.

“Happy overall with the result. Bez and Martin🌄 were too fast,” he said,

“We have to find a solutio🐽n, we already know where the pr𓂃oblem is.”

Martin, however, insisted he wasn’t even ꦍriding to the limit.

“I started super good, I put a🍃 great pace on the track,” Martin said.

“I tried to be smooth and not make mistakes, and to unde🌠rstand the tyres.

“We got good information for [Sunday].

“I’m proud of my team. So happy and confident for 🌄tomorrow.

“I didn’t need t♉o be 100% today, I tried to conserve a bit. I was trying to understand the𒈔 conditions.

“[The title fight] is open. I feel better than I’m used to feeling in the middle of theꦇ season.”
