While team-mate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jack Miller went on to claim a dominant 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:MotoGP victory at Motegi, Bagnaia was left aꦯpologising t🔥o his factory Ducati team after crashing out on the final lap.

A rare mistake from the Italian who has been unflappable since Assen, Bagnaia attempted an ambitious overtake on Quartararo as the paಌir beg๊an their final lap, only to lose the front-end under braking.

Luckily for꧙ Quartararo, Bagnaia narrowly missed the Yamaha rider in what was veryꦉ close to being a collision. 

A difficult day for both riders ended with much different outcomes as Quartararo increased his lead to 18 points in the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:championship standings, while you can also see how 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:mahbx.com evaluated the performance of both riders in its latest 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:MotoGP ratings. 

"I made a huge mistake today! I struggled with overtaking because my traction was not the best," said Bagnaia. "I was losing a bit of time on the acceleration but ൩I was so strong in the braking. 

"I was a bit too optimistic in this case and the only good thing, the only luck we had was that I didn’t touch Fabio on my crash so I didn’t disturb his race. It has been a b๊ig mess for me. I’m not happy about it."

Front tyre pressures a problem for Bagnaia

With Bagnaia spending the last few races at the very sharp end of the MotoGP field, overheating the front tyre ♏hasn’t been an issue for the Ducati man.&﷽nbsp;

But after stꩲruggling to find his way through the field early on at Motegi, Bagnaia soon ran into such issues, although♋ he claims it was not a reason for his crash.  

"Yes, maybe for the humidity and my front [tyre] pressuജre was very, very high," said Bagnaia when asked if he suffered from an overheating fr🍬ont tyre. 

"It was a bit strange๊ but I was t𓄧rying not to make any mistakes and when it was down again [the front tyre pressure] I tried to push and was recovering again. 

"This ﷽is something that can happen and it’s one of t💫he first times this year that I was in a big group. 

"We didn’t prepare for that. What I want to say is I did not crash because of that. I crashed because I made a mistake and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:I said sorry to all my team."

One point ‘can make the difference’ in the MotoGP title race - Bagnaia

Although Quartararo and Bagnaia were only battling over eig♔hth place, the latter felt he had no choice but to attempt an overtake, even if it was for just one point more than his rival.

Bagnaia said: "One point can make the difference but I was too optimistic༒. Finishing behind Fabio or waiting for a better opportunity to overtake in a safer corner was for sure, better.&nbsღp;

"But at that moment, when I’m raꦍcing I’m always aiming for big things and my ambition was to overtake Fabio and then be close to Maverick [Vinales] in case he made any mistakes 🦩so I could overtake him. 

"I was amb𓄧itious and it’s the only thing I can do to try and win the championship."

Regarding his sarcastic clapping motion after falling off his Desmosedici GP22 machine, Bagnaia added: "It was 💧at myself because I think I did an idiot manoeuvre."
