MotoGp, Borsoi: “Bagnaia and Martin like Lorenzo and Rossi”

Bologna, November 6, 2024 – A stellar level of competition, not seen for a long time. Jorge Martin and Pecco bagnaia They both deserve the title, but it is not expected and so one of the two will rejoice and the other will think about how to make up for it in 2025. The Spaniard's advantage is consistent, plus 24, and bagnaia he has 37 points available if he were to win both the sprint and the race, which means that Jorge must score at least 14 to win the first Moto GP title of his career. Not a difficult mission, given the current level of the two contenders which is clearly superior to the others. bagnaia must hope for a misstep by his rival or receive a helping hand from Marquez e Bastianini, but in Ducati there are no team games and everyone races for themselves. A shame for the Italian who has won as many as ten races this season and only in history have they managed to do so Agostini, Doohan, Rossi, Stoner and Marquez, but he paid dearly for a few too many mistakes in the Sprint race, and that's where Martin turned the result in his favor. However, the absolute level he showed remains.

Borsoi: “Both at the same level as Lorenzo and Rossi”

Two guys with the same bikes, who win and convince, they battle like in Sepang with overtaking, they put on a show and they deserve the title ex aequo. But it can't be, someone has to win and today the favorite is Jorge Martin, which has a 24-point advantage, mainly due to the Sprint Races, in particular the last one Sepang where bagnaia crashed on the hairpin bend of turn 9. A shame, because we would have arrived in Barcelona with the closest duelists and instead now Pecco needs a miracle, that is, to win all 37 points available and hope that Martin makes a mistake on a track where he has been on the podium in the last two years. All this despite the Italian's ten seasonal victories, on a par with the great aces of motorcycling. MotoGp he has therefore rediscovered the duels, which perhaps had been missing for a while in a transition phase due to Marc's injury Marquez in 2020. And Gino Borsoi sees bagnaia e Martin at stellar levels, in a challenge that reminds him of the one in Yamaha , as he himself stated to As: “I think both should be proud of what they have done, regardless of who wins – the words of the Pramac team manager – They fought at a level that hasn't been seen for a long time, and it's difficult to remember something like that. Maybe we could bring up Lorenzo e Rossi in Yamaha, but Pecco and Jorge pushed the limit a little further”. Martin pushed him on consistency, Bagnaia on great performance on Sunday, but so far it hasn't been enough and the last chance will be in ten days in Barcelona.
