Aragon MotoGP: Maiden win ‘a dream come true’ for Bagnaia

Francesco Bagnaia claimed a first ever MotoGP win after a stunning final three laps whic✤h saw he and Marc Marquez exchange the lead 14 times.
Bagnaia led the entirety of the race until that point, but faced a late charge from Marquez who was🍸 searc💛hing for a sixth premier class win at Aragon.
But like we saw many times between Marquez and former Ducati rider Andrea Dovizioso, Bagnaia was able to better the Honda rider thanks to several st✅unning counter moves on the exit of corners.ܫ
The last of Marquez’s attempts caꦫme at turn 12 as he ran wide which allowed Bagnaia to regain the lead.
The Ducati man remained unchall🦩enged throughout the rest of the lap and claimed a se🔜nsational first MotoGP win.
"𓆏I have a lot of emotions today. I’m so happy! We worked a lot to achieve this result," said Bagnaia post race.
"Every time that we were close (to winning before) som🧔ething happened. This dream to get my first victory was al💧ways far.
"To win today is a great liberation. I’m so happy. It's difficult to say something now, but to finish first is a dream com🍌e true."
The pace throughout the 24 lap race was stunning by both riders as 1m 48s lap times were held until the very 💮final stages.
It was lap times that surprised Bagnaia given th🔥e hotter conditions, while he acknowledg🃏ed that Marquez had ‘a bit better pace than me’.
Ba🀅gnaia added: "It was not easy. Today it was more hot an♚d I was not thinking that the pace could be like this.
"But when I start, my feeling was great with the bike and I was knowing that Marc was the only one with ꦬa bit ꦐbetter pace than me.
"But when I started, I tried to push and I opened a gap with the third position💜, so I conti𝔉nued to push.
"We did an incredible pace I think. He was only trying to overtake me in the final part of the race because before that it wasඣ useless I think.
"I tried, I sawꦺ he was overtaking me in the points where I was strong in the 💫exit and in the last part of the race with the rear tyre that was a bit down on grip to cross, the overtake was more easy.
"And the last attempt he did in turn 12 I was already braking so hard, so when I see that he was trying to overta🃏ke me I was sure that he🗹 would go a bit wide."
