Bagna🍎ia lost points to Martin for the third consecutive race after slipping from pole posiౠtion to third in the MotoGP sprint at Sepang. 

Bagnaia appeareꦰd to be in complete control at the mid-race point, but that was far from the case as Alex Marquez soon came through to take the lead.

A block ༒pass at turn nine then left Bagnaia vulnerable to title rival Jorge Martin, before the Pramac rider came through five corners later.

Bagnaia immediately lost touch with the front two and instead dropped into the clutches of 🌳team-mate 𒅌Enea Bastianini.

Asked what went wrong during the race, Bagnaia told MotoGP.com: “Something that I don’t understand. Thanks ꧋to the sprint we will have data for the race tomorrow. 

“But my feeling was no൲t the same. Already from the start [of the race] com🌠pared to yesterday and this morning. We will check and it’s something to improve. 

“The pace at the start was quite good but then I st💙arted struggling a lot with the front. It was hard to stop and enterꦰ the corner fast.”

Bagnaia’s disappointing re♈sult came just hou🧸rs after running a very good pace in practice and qualifying.

A new all-time lap record was set by the reigning MotoGP champion en route to pole posiꦺtion, his seventh of✱ the campaign. 

But ꩵBagnaia knows that racing is the most important and that clawing points back against Martin ♛is a must. 

Bagnaia added: “Pole position is always a fantastic place to be and is very positive. We have to🌃 be happy and doing the a🔯ll-time lap record is something to be proud of. 

“Pole position is okay but it’s more important t🐻ꩵo finish the race at the front. We need to take some points from Jorge.”
